I am still wrapping and have to say..I hate every minute of it. I have ordered my stocking and my night time garment and hope that will be more manageable.

I responded to the wraps beautifully. I went down 21 cm left leg and 6.4 in rt in 2 days total so far in 2 weeks almost 18 inches total from knees down

I use compression stockings, they work great whe I wear those ankle biters
Working / Worked
works but very unrealistic for a child!

It brought down the sweeling near close enough for me to get compressions stockings, but oh my the pain! They made my legs hot and they are hard to sleep with, but I would rather deal with the wraps than the leaden feeling that happens to my left leg.

helps a little but really misshapes my leg. I don't think I'm very good at it!
