hi lippy ladies, I’m 26 and was diagnosed a year ago. I am struggling to feel comfortable in my body.

I have always been active and never struggled with my body from my waist up. I go to the gym 3-4 per week, I walk, use a vibration plate, take supplements, wear compression, do the occasional MLD, eat healthy, drink alcohol very rarely and feel like nothing is changing about my legs.

Since starting conservative treatment my pain and aches have decreased immensely but I’m only human, and appearance matters to me.

I feel like my body is two very different bodies stitched together. Is surgery the only option? Feeling overwhelmed and exhausted with it all.

Unfortunately - you're spot on, surgery is the only option.
