Compressing The Pain
Depending on the pain level, I have found that compression wearables usually work well for me. I started with the gloves, and they worked well; they managed to help significantly with the pain. The original pair I had was very cheap, and they tore rather quickly. The second pair was another cheap pair, but they lasted much longer, with the third pair being a pair from Copper Compression, and they are still in use today (in fact, I’m wearing them now as I type this post). I then discovered knee supports, followed by knee-high socks. I don’t wear the socks often, but the knee supports are worn several days a week. But they all work well, and I love the pain relief I get from them.
Now, don’t get me wrong, they do not take all the pain away, but they do bring it down from a 6 to a 3, and I can handle that level all day long. I’m considering elbow supports next since my pain is in my extremities on both sides of my body.
What are your thoughts on compression wearables?
