This narrative review of lipedema morphology and pathophysiology states that lipedema leads to chronic pain, swelling, and other discomforts due to bilateral asymmetrical subcutaneous adipose tissue expansion, but it does not specifically examine an association with fibromyalgia or other defined chronic-pain conditions.

“Lipedema leads to chronic pain, swelling, and other discomforts due to the bilateral and asymmetrical expansion of subcutaneous adipose tissue.”
The review mentions chronic pain as a feature of lipedema but provides no specific data on comorbidity with fibromyalgia or other chronic-pain syndromes; it offers only contextual mention, not direct evidence on the association.
