Re: [QUAD-L] Feet swelling!

I have the same problem with swelling in my legs.  I have taken lasix for years to help me to tinkle it out, but it was far from solving the problem..  Following surgery last year the doctor ordered compression boots for my legs.  They are nothing like the stockings.  They helped so much in such a short time,that I couldn't believe they hadn't been ordered before.  The social worker said Medicare and/or Medicaid would not pay for them at home,, even if you had a history of blood clots. ( which I didn't,,I was just interested. )  I told them to get me a doctor order and let me see what I could do.  I am on the medicaid waiver and they will approve items that sometimes are not.  In 2 months I have the compression boots and the pump and it has been so wonderful.  They have helped my swelling and pain.
