I sleep on my side.and have a pressure sore on the side of my foot. Would this work? Thanks

Yes, it will still work. You might not be as comfortable but the important thing is to keep pressure off your sore and this should still work for what you need it to do. My dad, who used this item, sleeps on his back but based on how it looks, I think it should still work for side sleepers.

These sockes are like dress socks and I read that u can use them at rest and while walking and daily activities...like my husband does. I don't see why you couldn't . I think it would help the swelling and from your legs becoming for fatigued and get better results from the compression. My hubbie sometimes wears regular socks over the compression socks to help reduce any friction. It's up to your comfort level

I have wondered that as well. I guess if you sleep with your feet above the covers it's possible. The yoga toes are silicone and will stick to the covers if you roll over. That would not be very comfortable for your feet if they snagged and pulled a toe out of alignment. BUT definitely you could fall asleep wearing them once your feet get used to them!I hope this answers your question!

No, it works on both feet. I've tried several things and this worked the best. It is a bit bulky and not made to be walked in but I wore this for 4 nights straight and my planters has been pain free for several weeks since. I would recommend to continue to stretch after you become pain free to maintain being pain free but I highly recommend this product.

I would suggest giving it a try. Your feet are supposed to hang off the edge, but if you push it under your behind, you'll have more extension. I think it's ok if your feet lay on top of the cushion; often find myself in that position when I wake.

I have only used it on my feet, but I would assume it would work the same way any place you use it. I have to apply it three or four times nightly as that is when I have the most discomfort. It does offer relief, but not long term.

I had the bone on the side of foot cracked, no pain with the boot. What does your Dr. recommend, if he says yes, and you are in doubt, it will probably just be fine, the boot does stabilize the area well. Hope this helps.

I Do not know. Talk to your Doctor or Physical Therapist. I personally think it would help some. If you can just get your foot up a little bit. You wouldn't trip as often . I have a size 10 1/2 shoe and it works great.Ernie

This splint is made to be firm for when you are resting your foot, you can try to walk in it, but it will not be a good idea. You have to wear this when it is "LIGHTS OUT" and you don't have to move or go anywhere. It is not made for walking.

Yes! They work great! I use on my rough areas of my feet a few times a week after a night time shower, go to bed with socks & vaseline on my feet, my feet look & feel great by morning! :-)

Yes I use it on low all night in my bed for my feet because I get cramps in my feet. Its also much larger then a regular heat pad.I really enjoy using it.

It does help to protect your feet from sores, but if you have heel pain besides a doctor's prescription, i would recommend the SKIL CARE FLOAT HEEL PROTECTOR from Prime Discount in Amazon, i got both "booties" both are good, but because my mother developed sores in the big toe and heel, she is diabetic and bedridden, it was better to keep the heel free of pressure and avoid pain. The DMI comforting heel is very good to protect your feet from sores,but if those sores are spreading and causing too much pain in your heel i would suggest the float heel protector.My mother has both protectors (different one in each foot) and there is a lot of improvement.

I am not familiar with this condition. So I googled it. It is only my opinion that I think it would help. I purchased this system for my plantar fasciitis which is heel pain. I found that following the protocol was extremely helpful. I was told to learn to live with my condition, get special shoes or opt for surgery. That was not an option for me. Diligence is required and getting past the initial pain is key. It was a "hurts so good" because I got tremendous relief. I no longer have plantar fasciitis. I don't know if this answer has been a help to you but I believe it is definitely worth the effort. Occasionally I still use my walkers when my feet are tired. I am not familiar with this condition.

I used for metatarsalgia and they helped. I would "guess" they would help you as well.

I haven't used this product because I cured my plantar fasciitis by wearing a slip on shoe in the house. I found that the condition was aggravated by walking barefooted on tile and wood floors every day.

If you have clothes on, you will not feel very much from the pressure points. Personally, I did not see any results using this mat and I do not think it was this particular mat. I laid on it without any layer of clothing between the mat and my back, neck, head and feet (i.e., various positions) for several months and saw absolutely no results. Many people had positive results but for me, it was a waste of money.

not really sure, probably, it would just medicate ur feet :-) it's mainly used for soreness, so if ur feet hurt, try it.
