What does Lipedema feel like to the touch?

I have seen people with what I would consider less severe lipodema (visually you may not really be able to tell), and I have heard not everyone gets pain at least early on. I thought that by squeezing the fat one can feel it which is I guess the point of my post. If you pinch, squeeze your fat and it’s just lumpy pieces rather than smoothish fat, would that not be a tell tale sign of lipodema? Or is that just surface fat and the fat that would have the Lipedema is actually below all that?

It feels like you have peas under your skin, mine does.

like JUST under your skin? And would all the noduals be like peas or a mix of other shapes and sizes?

Abdominal one's are, but legs slightly different I expect everyone varies.

Not what you're looking for?
