does it help swelling?

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

I think the ankle support would help your ankles. It is a soft support, but if your ankles swell too much it would certainly bind. Hope this helps.

no. MY wife uses them as compression socks for calf and ankle swelling. They work fine.

Marguerite, since your situation involves several surgeries, I would consult with your doctor on this. It worked for my knee, but then my knee was just sore and my situation did not involve surgery. Make sure that if you use this cream it will not complicate any recovery for you. Take care.

It could help. I bought one for my wife who had a sore on her bottom and it helped take the pressure off the sensitive area. Since pain is pain anything that helps eliminate some pain may help a lot.

I really can't help you with that question. I take the pills to keep my ankles from swelling and they do help for that.

I'm not sure. I used it for inflammation like back and shoulder pain and it did a good job.

Hello Howard. I am not a physician, nor am I a professional physical therapy person. Therefore, I strongly suggest you discuss the swollen ankles problem with your doctor. He/she can make recommendations. I pray for your well-being.

Are you being serious?It generally works on joint and muscle pain...I imagine it would work wherever you rub it, just keep in mind, some of the ingredients shouldn't come in contact with any mucous membrane.

Only if it feels comfortable. Typically swelling happens when you're on your feet all day and is relieved when laying down. The compression won't do much for you while you're asleep. But should be put on first thing in the morning.

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 don't know how helpful it would be for a knee tear. It is really more for the hock area

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

These would NOT be your best bet. These are designed to last about 20 minutes to help reduce swelling from an injury. They are GREAT for that. You need the ice packs filled with gel that you freeze and remain cold for many hours. Hope this helps. Joe

I used it for a strained hamstring and it helped - you just have to get the size that will go up high enough. Good luck!
