Hey Ginger, I do wear compression stockings and they do help somewhat. But the edema is still so evident in my right leg especially. Here's got to be a connection back to a blood clot I had in the right leg back in 2010 that traveled up to my lungs and almost made it to my heart before it was discovered. The cause for the blood clot or reason was never found or known to this day. Some of the tests that he hospital ran while I was there were just some of the labs and tests I wanted the doctor to take a look at and consider in his diagnosis or thought process because they were significant with respect to myeloma back then, but he said he had all they needed! To be honest I wanted to scream at him!! But I knew that would get me nowhere
