After wearing Tommie Copper knee sleeve for a week, the swelling went down and the pain became tolerable.

Pam,I have had the pleasure of only a few weeks wearing these compression socks. I can attest that it reduces the swelling and aches of standing all day, therefore I believe it should reduce the development or progression of varicose veins. Hope this helps. Buy a pair, you should see immediate relief. I'm ordering my fourth pair after this update!

Of Course, although its controversial as to when its "most effective". It's great after an intense cardio session. Its so refreshing and relieves most most, if not all soreness!!

I purchased this for relief of bursitis and tendonitis and it worked very well. I had swelling and tenderness which the Slimfit helped relieve. It only reaches right above the ankle though. Hope this helps.

The bauerfreind website gives the measurements above and below the knee. The measurements are right on for each size. It is not a tight fit so it should work for a mild degree of swelling. If u have a lot of swelling u might need one size larger

It will support the knee joint and help with swelling - but don't forget to strengthen your quads! Simple exercises like the ones in "Treat Your Own Knee Arthritis" can give a knee much stability as well.

The way this product is designed you get compression equally at the ankle, heel and arch, which helps greatly if you suffer from plantar faciitis. I am not certain how that compression will feel if you have swelling, but I guess it would give some relief from the swelling if it isn't too tight...

The arch band isn't meant to reduce swelling if that is the reason you are using a compression sock. It is more of an arch support mechanism. If you are looking to reduce swelling or support more than just the arch I would suggest another killer product called "strength tape". It's a stretchy sports tape in pre cut strips that has a ton of different uses. Check out the website. It shows you how to wrap properly for different ailments. Good luck!!!

It helped somewhat for the pain, but has done wonders for post op pain. Had both knees replaced and couldn't have made it without it. You need to put the pads so the current goes diagonal across knee.

You should feel them, but they should not feel tight and uncomfortable. Snug would be about right. I agree with other answers. Control of swelling is a good sign.

I think it does. I was having an issue with my shoulder, bought this shirt and I had less to no pain while I wore it vs. not wearing it. I don't know if it was just a coincidence but I think it may have worked.

Yes I have. It does help but it's not some kind of miracle, ace bandage works the same way it is just the convenience I like. I hope it will help.

It reduced my shoulder pain. I have bursitis in my right side . An hour after I put it on it helped take off the pain from the burning throbbing pain in my right shoulder.

I don't really know if it will help your particular situation. I know that when I'm suffering from knee strain, it makes my knee feel snug and warm, which seems to lessen the discomfort over time. It's not a miracle cure, but it helps. Good luck to you!

This will not raise up high enough to keep your feet at the level of your bottom--but it should keep your thighs parallel to the seat instead of them hanging down and putting pressure on the backs of your legs--which can also affect swelling. It has really helped me with back pain from sitting extended periods for work.

It does slightly massage an ankle but the entire unit is not worth the price, in my opinion. It does not go around the leg when it is swollen, so what's the point? My husband recently needed to use it so we tied it on with string since the velcro wouldn't match up and it helped a little. I suppose it is better than nothing but I've been massaging his legs and feet by hand and it's about the same. Remember, if you buy this, you cannot return it.
