does it help swelling?

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

Yes . It is giving me relief but it won't cure your condition "over night" An anti inflammatory will help with the pain

Yes I believe it will be helpful. I had an injured knee on top of the normal arthitis pain and as a consequence the knee hurt at rest or in movement. Someone recommended Kytta Salbe and it was wonderful. I keep it in my handbag in case there is a flare up.

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

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...

I'm sorry, but I wouldn't know. I'm not sure it relieves pain at all I bought the device for my sister in another state, and she has not had anything good to say about it.

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!!

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.

Idk. depending on each person's skin. to me it does not. it works a lot slower and I bruise

It is great for relieving arthritis pain and most other body pains for a good deal of time. I don't think it heals bruises. It does ease the pain caused by them.

The compression helps keep swelling down and supports your foot too. I think this would help you very much

I wore it for the 3 hours and was able to do a few things that I haven't been able to do, and it helped. It didn't fully get rid of the pain, but it definitely helped it a little. I'm not sure if it would prevent further injury, my shoulder is so bad that i can't lift my arm

YES, you could put it on your thumb, but they don't offer much support. it would be good padding though and it would keep your thumb warm. It would also provide some pressure but not sure if it would be enough to help swelling if your thumb was recently displaced

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!

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

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.
