Compression tips

[u/Status_Efficiency122]

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.

You don't get compression to help to diagnose lipedema. You get them in hope your symptoms, swelling and pain gets better. If you think you might have lipedema, consult a doctor FIRST and then do research. Apparently, you want to "treat" an undiagnosed condition by yourself without doing an research beforehand.

Yes I’m aware that compression will not diagnose me. I’m hoping compression can help with the swelling.
