Excess fat deposition in legs, thighs
Dear Doctors,
My mother is 58 years old arthritis patient. She has excess fat deposition in upper legs, thighs and arms, it doesn't look normal. Is it obesity or lipedema ? Can anyone please suggest some good diet for her and what speciality doctor to consult for this issue.
Thanks and regards,
Sumit
