Because of the PN, the compression is unbearable. I purchased several at the medical pharmacy . They also fit them speical order as well. Spent quite a bit; but can keep them on for very long. The burning in feet and ankles really takes off.

Have problem elevating my feet as high as is recommended because of the spine problems. I use my elbows to take pressure off my spine when at a table and have really indented my lounge chair I watch TV with the pressure of the elbows .Can't sit too long or stand too long. I still, even with the meds for the edema have my left ankle swelling by evening, as well as the burning pain.
