P.S. I should have clarified. Compression socks should be up to thigh level. If the band is at/under knee joint, it can restrict blood flow plus also press on nerves that may make your cramping and burning worse. Epsom salt bath soaks may be good for your feet/calves/legs. Just be careful not to take to warm/hot baths or showers because I think the swelling in tissues aggravates small fibers and blood vessels. I remember having extreme pain in my feet when I walked in warm/hot days. The heat seemed to really aggravate my small fibers in my feet/calves.

Hello@ dlydailyhope,
I stopped wearing socks because my skin is very sensitive to fabric, so no worries about that. I was recently diagnosed with a large hiatal hernia they want to do surgery and , I am in such a pain I don’t know if I will be able to stand the after surgery pain. I can not lie down in bed, the pain is worse at night, I bought a therapeutic table and it is made of stretchy leather and with a comforter underneath, I can really sleep 8 hours+ in that hard surface. I was born with scoliosis which is stable, I have a curve of 34 now. I get back pain too. I take Pregabalin for pain and able to walk inside my house. I am going to start a diet without caffeine and eventually I will have to get the surgery because I am bleeding inside from some ulcers and erosions around my esophagus. I got no reflux and my oh is good but I had developed severe anemia due to the bleeding. In order to get well I must walk and exercise some, I have to push myself to walk in the treadmill to gain strength and get ready for the hernia repair so the anemia will not come back. And with more strength , I can recover sooner to continue being active, as before. Thanks for listening.
