[QUOTE="AndyS, post: 564920, member: 20775"] Not sure about that. Maybe the thinking is because elasticated bandages restrict the blood flow further or something? Of course that said if you took a non-elasticated bandage and strapped an ankle up too tight you can end up with a worse situation even for a healthy person so I think maybe that advice ie best consigned to the pile of "once neuropathy is confirmed" since we seem to get told all this stuff that in the early stages is completely not relevant. When I have asked the question I get shrugs or blank looks from the Dr's. I would say check with a DSN, they tend to be more practical if you are concerned. /A [/QUOTE]
