can you have big legs/ big buttocks without it being lipedema

Size 8 on top size 10 on bottom

Always had a big round bum that looses barely any fat when i exercise

My legs are tapered with more fat around my upper thigh and bum area but they are not columned and despite exercise they stay the same ish size, they look skinny. Im not unhappy with my thighs atm but concerned if it is lipedema, that they will get bigger.

When i squeeze my thighs i cant feel any nodules or lumps, it just feels like skin? what do nodules feel like exactly, can you feel them just by running your hands on your skin? are they like tiny hard lumps under the skin? but i get a slight dimple but is that normal when you squeeze skin?

my skin is smooth and firm but i can feel muscle, skin doesnt looked dimpled when i stand normally

i have small varicose veins on my thighs

my thighs and bum are jiggly

no pain at all

no 'cankles' for want of a better word

no swelling

what is the difference between being a pear shape without lipedema and someone who has lipedema

thanks!
