I have lymphedema and was fitted for stockings. Due to my skin disorder I do not wear them. They should be fitted for you not just bought at the store. Hope you are feeling better

Hi sorry for only getting back to you all ,my Cardiologist has been on leave,on his return he answered my email,and said in my case I m better off with out the socks,something to do with the electric shocks I suffer from,I was taken of lirica that was supposed to work,but it was found to cause a problem with the electric rhythm of my Heart. He and the Physiotherapist recommended I walk more often and then lift my legs when the said short term swelling occurs.

Lotion does not help with the type of skin disease I have. So Dr. stated I am better off without them.

There is a lotion you can wear with your stockings . Are you allergic to the silicone band ? Unless your custom Jobst has a cotton sock

Compression stockings are for clots. . Look up Jobst 20/30 compression . Usually with a clot that happens in the calf they will put you in a thigh high . Do you see a Vascular Dr? The pump is not good for anyone except those selling them . Usually used for lymphedema .
