Make NHS surgery available for Lipoedema patients

Petition Details

Lipoedema is a genetic adipose tissue disorder which causes patients legs & arms to grow largely out of proportion. This can be an incredibly painful, embarrassing & debilitating condition. It's estimated to affect 11% of women worldwide! The only way to effectively treat this condition is surgery.

Additional Information

Lipoedema ladies have painful, enlarged, lumpy, misshaped and often badly bruised arms and legs. Currently patients are left to suffer as the disfiguration of the limbs becomes more pronounced, the pain increases and their mobility and enjoyment of everyday activities decreases.

Please sign this petition and get the Lipoedema Ladies the treatment they deserve ..... give them a chance to get back to a normal life.
