If you search "compression garments nerve damage" you should find something. In your case, you need it to recover from your surgery, there is a medical necessity and that's quite different. It's an awareness issue, if you know about it, you can ask some targeted questions about that the next time you see your doctor. As a diabetic, I'm choosing to opt out of the compression choice because of the possibility of nerve damage - I already have enough going against me, I don't have to exasperate it by wearing spandex for vanity's sake.JoyD Gulashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03702772531618159281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2280832012241934467.post-84877551649828226132013-09-28T21:11:48.878-05:002013-09-28T21:11:48.878-05:00Where did you get the information for paragraph #5...Where did you get the information for paragraph #5 that compression can lead to nerve damage and pain?

You are so right.... when I am sick, I really don't care what I wear and am more apt not to put on makeup or dress up if I know I'm only running to the store for 7-up, soup, or medicine. The part about the hospital gown made me laugh... it was so true! Take care and hope you feel better soon.mpoole5712noreply@blogger.com
