Lipoedema, lymphoedema and obesity: What's the difference?

This , we’re sharing information like this to help improve the understanding of lipoedema, its presentation and associated symptoms. Swipe through to learn more about the differences between lipoedema, lymphoedema and obesity.

💜 June is Lipoedema Awareness Month 💜

This month, we’re shining a light on a condition that is often misunderstood, under-diagnosed, and commonly dismissed, yet affects so many women worldwide 👩

Throughout June, our team will be sharing educational posts, blogs, FAQs, treatment insights, patient support information, and practical management strategies to help raise awareness about lipoedema and support those living with it.

Lipoedema is more than “just weight gain.” It’s a chronic condition that can cause pain, swelling, and fatigue and impact mobility, confidence, and quality of life. Early recognition, appropriate support, and evidence-based management can make a significant difference.

Our goal this month is to:
✨ Increase awareness
✨ Share trusted information
✨ Empower patients through education
✨ Help people feel seen, heard, and supported

Whether you’re newly diagnosed, currently managing lipoedema, searching for answers, supporting a loved one, or simply wanting to learn more, we’re glad you’re here 💜

Today is World Blood Cancer Day — a day to raise awareness, support those affected by blood cancer, and promote stem cell donations ❤️

Every 27 seconds, someone around the world is diagnosed with a blood cancer such as leukaemia, lymphoma, or multiple myeloma.

For some patients, stem cell transplants are used as part of curative treatment or to extend remission and improve outcomes. Stem cell transplants replace damaged or diseased blood-forming cells with healthy stem cells, allowing the body to rebuild a healthy blood and immune system after high-dose chemotherapy treatment.

This year, we’re helping spread the message from ; awareness matters, conversations matter, and becoming a potential stem cell donor could one day help save a life.

✨ Lymph Pressure Pads ✨

Lymph pressure pads are often used as part of lymphoedema management to help soften firm or fibrotic tissue areas and for more targeted swelling reduction in combination with compression therapy 💙

Lymph pressure pads work by applying targeted, localised pressure using a textured surface that provides a micro-massage effect to promote lymphatic circulation and softening of thickened tissue 🙌

Interested in lymph pressure pads to help with your swelling or tissues changes? Reach out to our team!

FAQ Friday 💡

Q: Is breast, chest wall and/or upper limb swelling normal after breast cancer treatment?

A: Swelling in the breast, chest wall, underarm, and/or arm can occur after breast cancer treatment — particularly following surgery, lymph node removal, and radiation therapy.

However, while some temporary swelling can be expected during initial recovery, ongoing, worsening, or fluctuating swelling is not normal and may be a sign of lymphoedema developing 🔎

Other symptoms can include:
🌸 Heaviness or tightness
🌸 Aching or discomfort
🌸 Reduced movement or flexibility
🌸 Clothing, bras, or jewellery feeling tighter
🌸 Skin changes or firmness

Persistent breast, chest wall and/or upper limb swelling may be common after breast cancer treatment but it is not a normal part of recovery. Early assessment and management can make a significant difference in symptom management and preventing progression.

At Hunter Rehab Hub, our accredited lymphoedema physiotherapist provides assessment, education, and evidence-based interventions to assist with swelling management after breast cancer treatment 💙

✨ SUPPORT FOR COMPRESSION GARMENT COSTS ✨

Did you know that if you have lymphoedema or chronic venous disease, you may be eligible for government funding to assist with the cost of compression garments?

Compression garments are a key part of lymphoedema and chronic venous disease management. Consistent use of an appropriate type and properly fitted garment can support circulation, help control swelling, prevent symptoms from worsening, and maintain in-clinic treatment outcomes 💙

Our latest blog explains the EnableNSW compression garment funding program in simple terms — including who qualifies, how much is covered, and how our clinicians can help you apply.

At Hunter Rehab Hub, we’re here to support you in all aspects of managing your lymphoedema 💙
