does it help swelling?

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

The real purpose is to reverse gravity, so the spine will decompress. While upside down, the swelling in the legs will also benefit from the reversal of gravity, and be pulled toward the heart, but it may not be the most effective solution. Compression knee socks work well for me to reduce leg swelling. I bought stronger ones, like ACE bandages, at the drug store, and they are very comfortable to wear as well.

I am not sure if it helps with swollen legs/ankles. I use it for my back and neck. I do know that if you tilt gradually it does relieve the body of stress on the skeleton and muscles. It's an awesome feeling of relief. It also, after a few sessions gives you extra energy. I started by tilting it 10 degrees then 45 degrees and eventually hung completely upside down. It's not for everyone, but even a little tilt will help relieve stress. This, of course is only my own opinion.

I can't imagine it will help your pain subside if that's what your asking, it will help strengthen your figure without a doubt.

It gives minimal support to the ankle. I do find it improves circulation and reduces my pain and swelling.

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.

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

Not sure, but all my pain is in my neck and shoulders and it helps ease neck pain significantly. I think it certainly helps.

I don't know if it would help 100% since you feel it in your arms too, but this has helped a lot on my wrists. I do have pain in my arms when I type and I bought this: BandIT Therapeutic Forearm Band. Check the description out.

This item helps with pain. But it is only light support. If you have a lot of main you need more support. You might want to check with your doctor. Thank you

It can help. It will keep that area of coverage warm and stay in place. Keeping the muscle warm should aid in the aches department I find them beneficial.

My mother said that it didn't help her. I Bought for her troxevasin by actavis 2 procent. She said it shrinked her tissue in a few weeks, pain and itching gone. Oitmenr cream i start using for muscle pain in sholders& legs. It warms up muscles. I like it.

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

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 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.

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.
