Compression Sleeves?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Has anyone tried compressions sleeves for muscle pain? Have you had good results? I remember wrapping my legs in ace bandages in high school when my shin splints were really bad and the pressure eased the pain a bit. At least enough for me to walk. I wonder if sleeves would help my forearms when the muscles feel like they’re seizing up.

Try taking a shower with Lavender Epsom Salt and add a teaspoon of imitation vanilla to make it a scrub and wet your body and put some on your head and face and work down. It relaxes the muscles, softens the skin and makes you feel great all over. Try it and see.

I use them on my calves and they really do help! Copper is a good brand

I have all around rib cage pain, flank pain, side pain... I use a thick compression belt (back brace), like a corset to support the muscles, ligaments on really bad days. It helps, but uncomfortable. As far as I know long term use is not recommended as it weakens the muscles eventually.
