What do you do for Neuropathy itch?

Hi Chris, My cardiologist prescribed 20 to 30 mmHg compression socks for my lymphedema and that seems to be doing the job except I don't buy the spendy ones like I did the first go around through the Mayo Store. Amazon was cheaper for the brand names Jobst and a couple of others but I went with knockoffs and they feel the same and are hard to put on and take off. I found ones with side zippers which are much easier to get on/off. Since I've lost a good amount of weight and have been exercising more the leg swelling is not as bad and I decided to try less compression. I bought a few pairs of 15 to 20 mmHG knee highs with side zipper which are even easier to put on and take off and they seem to do just as well controlling the swelling during the day. For the socks you have to have measure your ankle, calf and the length and then look at their sizing chart to determine which of their size fits you.

Hope you have a Merry Christmas!

Hi John, thank you so much. That is helpful. Jobst huh. I will look at that tonight. If there is nothing to help from the inside.....maybe there is something that will help from the outside. Congratulations on the weight loss. Happy Happy Holidays.
