Prevention measures/medications

Conservative Treatments

Hi everyone! I’m new to this page and honestly have struggled a lot recently as I’m only 21 years old but diagnosed with venous insufficiency in both my legs (right is worse) I’ve always noticed that my feet get red after standing and sometimes they will swell as well as my ankle if I stand for too long. I feel like it’s gotten worse in the past year. Lipedema also runs in my family very strongly and I definitely have some in my legs possibly arms (prob stage 1/2).

I’ve always wondered why my legs were bigger than my top half and why I had a lot of cellulite on them too. I know inflammation is a big trigger, does anyone know or use a good anti inflammatory medication that helps with circulation and the symptoms of lipedema? I don’t notice any heaviness in my legs but I do bruise easily. My feet burn sometimes when I’m standing for long. I’m also just struggling with weight loss too but I’m technically not overweight (5’9 160 pounds) so I feel like no doctors take me seriously 🥲 it stresses me out so much knowing this is a chronic disease and there’s not much I can do other than lipo
