In this video, Rebekah discusses how to feel for lipedema nodules in your upper arms and describes other common symptoms of arm lipedema. Compression garments are one form of lipedema arm treatment. She then shows two different types of lipedema arm compression and demonstrates how to put them on.

I have lipedema type 4, am 66 years old and a retired nurse. I started keto/carnivore 2 months ago and have lost 15 pounds so far. I use caster oil on my arms and legs every day after I shower and it has really helped with the swelling. Castor oil is the highest density oil there is, it's so dense it penetrates the skin down into the dermis and is anti-inflammatory. I really think it is helping me shrink my arms and legs so I thought I would pass it on.
@crabbiecakes5663 thanks for sharing! I'm so glad your figuring out what works for you and feeling better
Thank you for sharing.
I have been applying castor oil but not faithfully.
Been on carnivore since 1 Feb , so almost 2 months now and have not lost any weight as yet.
I was on keto and it took 10 months to lose 12 lbs. But low weight loss was not the worst of it. My hair started falling out!
It is a mystery why keto works like a miracle for most but doesn’t work for everyone.
I am so impressed with your progress. You look absolutely fantastic!! An inspiration. Great videos.
Also have Lipedema on my arms
This bolera looks very easy to put on unlike the leg compressions
Hello Rebekah, great upload, you look gorgeous 🔥. I have purchased a few bras from Amazon UK 🇬🇧, more like Sari blouses and cover everything and really comfortable to wear.. I like you only wear occasional but wear compression every day on my legs.. Also Amazon sell compression sleeves.. Keep up the uploads as your simply fabulous and amazing 😘😊
@kamwatson6128 it's so good to hear from you! I'm glad you continue to do well. Sari blouses sound amazing for summer. Thanks for the inspiration
Thank you for your videos What has been the most impactful in your Lipedema journey?
Has it been diet and exercise?
If so what exactly did you do?
I’m trying but it’s not easy
Got eating on carnivore have been doing keto prior for over a year but not weight loss or change in appearance as yet.
Try to exercise in between challenges of physical restrictions 🤷🏼♀️
Praying for a consistent good outcome 🙌🏼🌈💕
Hi, I certainly enjoy your videos. Do you experience pain in any of your areas with Lipedema? Although you have lost a considerable amount of weight and still have the nodules are you concerned about further advancement of the disease?
@user-yx1zq7my3n I had pain at the beginning of my journey. Funnily, I didn't think of it as pain until it went away when I started compression and keto! I do still have some tenderness and bruising, for example, when my big cat walks on me but my swelling and inflammation have reduced so much that it is minimal compared to before. I've accepted that nodules are just part of lippy life so, no, I don't worry about it. Even if you have them removed they can come back. I work with a nutritionist who has lipedema and she has assured me that I'm doing everything I need to do to keep it under control long term. Unfortunately, we are all kind of trailblazing this thing together so 🤞♥
Hi. Thanks for the information on this. I watched all of your videos yet so dont know if you've mentioned this. Would you mind saying what excercises youve done for your arms and how much did you lose from them? And is it painful and very tiring when you excercise them?
@whatever-ou2he hi! You can see how my arms changed in my before and after video to see how they changed here: czcams.com/video/MwK_aUNbG-Y/video.html Sounds like you've already seen it though 😆 I've lost about four inches off each of my arms, but that is somewhat offset by muscle I have put on. I use a TRX body weight suspension trainer a few times a week to build muscle in my arms and otherwise focus on walking, jogging, etc. I'm lucky not to have a lot of pain when exercising. I've found keto has helped a lot to reduce muscle fatigue and weakness both during and after exercise. Sending big hugs ♥
@sturdywoman thanks . Will check out that video
Start rebounding to open lymphatic glands ❤
@jordanbrascia3483 a rebounder is definitely on my wish list! Unfortunately I live in a small upstairs apartment and 1) I am not sure where to put it and 2) I am not sure the folks downstairs would approve! :D
In general, are people with lipedema more uncomfortable during the summer heat versus other seasons compared to those without lipedema? Trying to plan a vacation- 🙏
@rebecca3745 hello from another Rebekah! Yes, heat and warm weather tend to make us swell more, but if you want to do a beach vacation certainly do! I'm planning to go to the beach in a few months. Remember, if you are getting in the water that will also help drain fluid. Whatever you do, make it fabulous! ♥♥
I just subscribed and it seems like all your video's are on Lipodema. Im looking for info on LYMPHODEMA
@LisaBeatsCancer these compression sleeves are also appropriate for lymphedema. Thanks for watching ♥
@@sturdywoman how about for Truncal lymphodema?
Do you wear the shirt in the summer? I’ve been sleeping in my compression shirt.
I never knew why it was so painful to get my blood pressure taken.
@lfuentes4098 it makes you start to see so many things differently, doesn't it? I thought it hurt everyone - ha! Sometimes they can use your wrist instead if you ask. I find that often hurts less
I know, right?! I thought the medical assistants at the pain clinic where I am a patient had been taught to pump the cuffs up until the patient was writhing on the floor. Oops. It was me!
Hi, what's the reason for / benefit of wearing compression? Aesthetics, or does it help with anything? My arms never fit anywhere, I've been wanting to do something like this but I feel it's gonna be very uncomfortable and might give you a rash in summer, no? I also didn't know if this would be good or bad for circulation and what not.
@evab2274 great questions! Similar to wearing compression socks on an airplane, these are designed to increase circulation and stimulate lymph flow to relieve swelling. They are pretty comfortable if you get the right size. Most of them have a texture on the inside that gently tugs to the skin to help move fluid. Yes, it can be hot in the summer, though! I wear my leg compression every day but only wear arm compression when I feel particularly swollen. It's all about figuring out what works for you.
Have one of the Cz salus long sleeves
It is so difficult to put on
@Fiakp did you see my tip about putting both arms in before putting your head in? That's the only way I can manage with it. Good luck 💗
@@sturdywoman yes I did thank you, the arms are ok but the body /neck chest is extremely difficult . I can’t do this without help…you do so with such ease.
Do you know anyone that also has Dermatographia and how they tolerate compression?
How do you order czsalus? I found some on Amazon but the colors are limited (for leggings)
@HeatherKinsley check out the CZSalus website here: www.cizeta.it/en/Standard-sizes They ship from Italy but come by within 2-3 days by DHL. Be sure to check the size chart and see my legging video to see all the colors czcams.com/video/-86yGekdTOE/video.html ♥♥
Can you wear compression gear while exercising ?
@lp9361 you can definitely wear compression while exercising! Using it while you move will help maximize the benefits 💕
Hi, I ordered a pair of leggings because of one of your videos. I have problems with fluid. I am quite sure I have venous insufficiency but think it possible I have lipedema. I have some nodules in my arms , they also feel granular. My thighs have some fibrosis and granular feel and kinda hooded or cuffing above the knee. I haven't been diagnosed as everything for my family is out of pocket to go to a bunch of doctors.
Thanks for your videos
@goldielara-Umust-b-BORNAGAIN it is certainly possible to have both! The Lipedema Foundation has a really interesting report on the self-reported prevalence of common comorbidities: www.lipedema.org/registry-first-look-report I found that fixing my malfunctioning veins did a lot to reduce swelling in my legs. Compression, of course, is also super helpful - I hope you are finding the same thing! Some vein clinics will do an initial consult and quickie ultrasound free to tell you if they see anything concerning. Vein Clinics of America use to that. I'm not sure if they still do now that they changed to USA Vein Clinics. It might be worth checking around your area to see what's available, even just so you know what is (or isn't) going on. The good thing, if you can mostly treat lipedema on your own with conservative treatments and a formal diagnosis is most useful for getting a pump of having surgery. Sending big hugs 🤗💕
