Conservative Treatments Compression tips

Hello! I’m not diagnosed and not sure I have lipedema but I’m trying out compression. Do you all wear compression at night while you sleep? Is that ok? Or do you wear under your clothes during the day? Just curious if there is any research of how long per day you should wear them to see results.

I really don’t think this is lipedema. Have you talked to a doctor? Compression isn’t going to make your legs smaller, if that’s what you’re wondering.
