A lipedema-trained physician, using history and physical examination, can diagnose lipedema if a constellation of many signs and symptoms are present:
• Excess symmetric fat on hips and legs; feet are spared
• Disproportionate fat in legs compared to trunk and abdomen
• Arms can be affected, but not as severe; hands are spared.
• Hands, feet, and head exhibit minimal fat deposits, starkly contrasting to other areas.
• Fat is not responsive to caloric restriction, weight loss, and/or exercise.
• Activity (recreational endurance) and activities of daily living become limited.
• Minimal pitting edema
• Persistent enlargement of legs despite elevation, medications, or weight loss
• Pain and/or tenderness on palpation, disproportionate to exam
• Vascular fragility, easy bruisability
• Hypothermia of the skin, complaints of cold extremities despite the environment
• Palpable nodules of fat (marbled texture)
• Joint pain in knees and hips in later stages from malalignment due to excessive fatty tissue.

Lipedema can cause weakness and instability in the affected areas due to the excess weight of the fat deposits. Engaging in strength training exercises can help build muscle strength and increase joint stability, improving mobility and reducing strain on the joints.
