Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deleted member 543160" data-source="post: 2450918">I'd suggest support stockings too, if you don't already use them - they've definitely helped me. My mild, warm weather only, oedema has got worse in one leg over the last few years and instead of the elastic type support stockings I used to wear  I'm currently prescribed  Jobst FarrowWraps which are made of thicker material with velcro closures so are completely adjustable. They also make  separate foot pieces .And I've  recently had a couple of simple little exercises recommended to me,  which are intended to keep the fluids in your lower legs moving, so maybe worth a try if you can manage:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Keep your toes on the floor and raise and lower you heel several times </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Lift you leg slightly and rotate your ankle (either clockwise or anticlockwise, or presumably do a few in both directions!)</li> </ul>Here's a YouTube demo of my Jobst wrap, but there's a lot more info if you "ask Google":[MEDIA=youtube]FPQI8O6_daM[/MEDIA]</blockquote>
