The Lipoedema Journey

It’s not always a straight path — it twists, turns, and sometimes feels heavy.

But you are not alone.

Living with lipoedema means learning to navigate pain, stigma, and a condition that’s often misunderstood. But with the right support, knowledge, and compassion (for yourself and others), the journey becomes more manageable — even empowering.

Lipoedema is a chronic, progressive condition that causes a painful and often misunderstood accumulation of fat—most commonly in the legs, hips, buttocks, and sometimes the arms. It primarily affects women, and is not caused by lifestyle, diet, or lack of exercise.

✨ Common signs:

Disproportionate lower body size compared to the upper body

Pain or tenderness in affected limbs

Easy bruising

Feeling of heaviness or tightness

Minimal improvement with weight loss attempts

Despite affecting up to 11% of women, it remains underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed—often mistaken for obesity or lymphoedema.

💬 Early recognition and proper management can improve comfort, mobility, and quality of life. Treatment may include compression therapy, manual lymphatic drainage, and targeted exercise.

✨ This , let’s raise awareness and push for better support and diagnosis pathways.

🔎 If you think you or someone you love might be affected, reach out to The Lymphoedema Lounge or a health professional trained in lipoedema care.

Tight, painful cords under your arm after breast cancer surgery? You’re not alone. It might be Axillary Web Syndrome (AWS)—a common but treatable condition.

Swipe to see and learn what it is…

Symptoms of AWS:
* Visible or palpable “cords”
* Tightness or pulling in the arm
* Pain when lifting or stretching
* Limited shoulder or arm range of motion

5 Tips to managing AWS:
1. Gentle Stretching: Daily, guided shoulder and arm stretches help break down cords safely.
2. Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT): A non-invasive treatment that may reduce inflammation, soften cords, and restore motion. Ask your therapist if this is suitable for your recovery.
3. Scar Tissue Massage: Helps soften cords and restore movement.
4. Warm Compresses: Using heat packs can increase tissue flexibility before stretching. Compression garments may also help to reduce swelling, inflammation and pain.
5. Professional Support: Seek help from a lymphoedema therapist who specialises in oncology rehab for targeted care.

✨ Good News
With the right care, AWS typically improves over weeks to months. Early management makes a big difference!

We’re here to help every step of the way, so you can get back to moving with confidence. Book a session with our team to ease movement, reduce pain, and support your recovery.

🩵 Today is World Lymphoedema Day! 🩵

At The Lymphoedema Lounge, we stand together to raise awareness, share knowledge, and support those living with lymphoedema. Every step counts, and we are proud to be part of a global community that’s dedicated to education, self-care, and empowerment.

💙 What is Lymphoedema?
Lymphoedema is a condition that causes swelling in the arms, breast, ge****ls or legs due to a build-up of lymph fluid. It’s important to raise awareness so that early diagnosis and treatment can be accessed.

💙 According to available information, it is estimated that around 70,000 people in Australia are living with lymphoedema. Some sources suggest that approximately 300,000 Australians may experience lymphoedema at any given time.

💙 Prevalence: The majority of cases are secondary lymphoedema, often occurring following cancer treatments like surgery and radiation therapy, particularly for breast cancer.

💙 What Can You Do?
* Learn more about lymphoedema and its symptoms.
* Support those living with the condition.
* Share this post to spread awareness.

Let’s continue to raise our voices for better understanding and greater support for lymphoedema patients worldwide. Together, we can make a difference. 🌍

02/03/2025

The Lymphedema Lounge is celebrating Lymphoedema Awareness Week from 3 March - 9 March 💙 Internationally, World Lymphoedema Day is Thursday, 6 March.

This week, we raise awareness about lymphoedema, a condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It’s time to break the silence, spread knowledge, and support those living with lymphoedema.

5 facts to start the week:
🔹 What is it? Lymphoedema is a condition where excess lymph fluid builds up in the tissues, causing swelling, most commonly in the arms or legs. It occurs when the lymphatic system is damaged or blocked.

🔹 Causes: Lymphoedema can be primary (present at birth due to developmental issues with the lymphatic system) or secondary (caused by injury, surgery, radiation, or infection, often after cancer treatments).

🔹 Symptoms: The main symptom of lymphoedema is swelling, but it can also lead to discomfort, heaviness, restricted movement, and an increased risk of infections in the affected area.

🔹 Chronic Condition: Lymphoedema is a lifelong condition that can be managed but not cured. Early intervention can help control symptoms and prevent complications.

🔹 Treatment Options: Compression garments/pumps, Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage, Laser Therapy, Exercise, Skin Care and Hydration can help reduce symptoms and improve quality of life.
