I had the same thought about compression socks before i was diagnosed. it seemed like a good idea to me. I looked for compression socks that would have compression for the foot, not just the ankle up. The local medical supply place said they could have some special ordered, but they were a lot of money. For me, compressing the ankle up would probably make things worse, because my swelling is more in my foot. If you know of a brand that isn't too much money I can try, I'd be interested. I haven't looked to hard since I was diagnosed because I didn't find anything that recommended them for RSD.

I have a question about the diuretics. I have been on one for years since before the rsd started because I have high blood pressure. The posts I've seen have said don't use diruretics because of hypotension. Sine that is not a problem for me, it is okay for me to use them, right? Or do people think they are bad for RSD patients in some other way? Thanks for the clarification.
