This is Lipedema.

There is no cure, but there is treatment. A healthy lifestyle, compression, manual lymphatic drainage, and liposuction can slow the progression. Typical to women, 1 in 10 women have lipedema, but most receive a diagnosis after years of seeking help. Typically, these women are told to go on a diet or exercise more, but lipedema fat is resistant to these measures. As the disease progresses, it can rob those of their mobility.
