Hi Jennelle,

I'm glad to hear that the compression bandages are helping you and that they have reduced the hypersenstivity - that is great!!!

I think it is a personal decision in what to use to try and help with the swelling, stiffness and hypersenstivity and depends on what works best for you. I was told to wear compression bandages on my leg to try and reduce swelling and decrease the hypersenstivity but couldn't tolerate them really so I changed to rubbing my foot with feathers, cotton wool etc as that was what my PT's suggested. My leg is still VERY hypersensitive but it isn't as bad as it was thankfully and I can now wear socks for short periods of time.

If you decide to wear the compression bandages, just make sure that you move your limbs as much as possible as that is really important!

Take care of yourself and I hope things start getting better for you soon!!
