It's a thought.
There have been several threads about them here (and elsewhere on the web) in the past.

What I glean from them is that they may help mild edema, but complicating factors like PN, RSD, and others make them to painful to tolerate. I still have enough sensitivity that massaging helps, but even my shoes hurt; I'd be reluctant to commit to compression socks.
