Pain from compression?

Conservative Treatments

Hello- so I’ve recently diagnosed myself with lipedema while I’m waiting to find a medical professional that’s qualified to do so. I know have it, I’ve had it all my life.

Anywho, I’ve instantly started implementing conservative treatments since finding this group a couple weeks ago. One of those treatments was ordering compression pants. I ordered them from heathealer and I’ve been wearing them for about 3 days and I’ve noticed a huge uptick in my leg pain. I’m talking intense sciatica flair ups and extreme pain in my hips. Has anyone else had this problem? It’s a shame because I do feel like I instantly noticed a change in the appearance of my legs, but I don’t think the pain is worth the trade off. Please let me know your experiences or if I’m missing something!
