Do leg compression sleeves help neuropathy

Everyone is different and neuropathy can originate from a number of causes. Being unsure of your complete medical situation, your primary health practitioner can best answer how to proceed. Leg compression which uses conpressed air sleeves to compress & relax lower legs feels great no natter what; it stimulates circulation, which assists the removal of fluid build up in the legs. Some types of lower leg numbness may be relieved by this compression, but only temporarily.

My suggestion is to speak with your physical therapist and your PCP in seeking their advice as how best to proceed. I personally use Mojo knee high compression stockings. They compress to the standard 20mm of mercury, which is a widely accepted standard. They cost between $8.00-$11.00 per pair on Amazon, depending on sale days and after myself having tried similar brands, these only appear to cone in black, but they are well made and seem to hold up after continuous washing on the normal wash cycle, along with my other laundry..

Thank you for your response. I have just started therapy and my PT has been using the compression air sleeves after my therapy sessions. They feel so good I thought I would try to purchase some. I just wondered if using them has helped others. I do have the stockings but at the moment it is 120+ where I live. I plan to start using them again when things cool down.
