Both conditions involve weak connective tissue, impaired collagen structure, poor lymphatic flow, and chronic inflammation, which is why symptoms can overlap. When connective tissue becomes weak, the lymphatic system struggles, leading to heaviness, fibrosis, fluid retention, pain, and mobility issues. ✨ Ways to Help Support Lipedema EDS: • Gentle fasc

Did you know lipedema is actually a connective tissue disorder? 💜 That’s why so many of us with lipedema also experience joint hypermobility and related conditions like Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS). EDS is a group of genetic disorders that affect connective tissue — leading to overly flexible joints, fragile skin, easy bruising, and sometimes chronic pain.
