A youtuber Karen Bachini shared with her followers about a recent diagnosis she had. In a video on her channel, Karen revealed that she suffers from lipedema, a condition that causes disproportionate fat buildup in the legs.

Bachini stated that she will undergo surgery to treat the condition, which has always caused her a lot of pain in the lower part of her body (watch the video here).

“My legs are always very swollen, very inflamed, I have a lot of pain. For me, it’s still very emotional to talk about it,” she said.

The influencer also mentioned that just the contact of the ultrasound device used during her exams caused her leg pain for three days.
