Take care and hope things improve for you.

You too. Yeah, I have been able to control my edema, although yesterday it bubbled up on me. If I don't wear the compression socks, what little edema I have goes to my feet, and increases my pain big time. Now, it stays up at my sock line, and now that I wear shorter compression 'sport' socks, it doesn't ride up into my knee. It's about midway up my shin, and then I take them off to sleep, and put them back on before I start walking around and it goes back down to my feet. I take the water pills, and cymbalta too - apparently that's has diuretic properties.
