Lipoedema, also known as Painful Fat Syndrome is a progressive condition that occurs  mostly in women.

​The disease mainly affects the legs, although arms and other parts of the body can be affected. Legs appear heavy, swollen, shapeless and can be painful to the touch.

​Lipoedema Australia Support Society is aimed at helping to raise awareness of the disease, advocating for and supporting women with Lipoedema.
