I am glad to hear you had such a good visit with your rheumy. Thank goodness for that! Clonidine might be just the thing. Not only are you increasing circulation but as an alpha blocker it is damping down the adrenoreceptors on your inflamed nerves. Yeah!

I had to wear compression for a long time after my surgeries. They are cumbersome when you feel hot and sweaty. If toeless works for you, you may also like some of the compression athletic sleeves. A lot of them were too tight for my comfort since they are intended for use during exercise. However I LOVED the Zensah calf sleeves. Good with heat, comfy, wash and wear well.

Thanks for the update. I hope you start getting some relief soon. Allodynia is just the pits but it does bring out one's creativity. You should see some of the pillow constructions I came up with to keep air space around my foot in the beginning. My husband had a ball razzing me about my 'fortress'!

Sending hugs and healing love,
