My mom in law bought me compression socks for xmas and the difference they make is amazing. I usually have burning pain in my calves and feet most days but none since starting wearing them except when I take them off. Even then the intensity is less.

I got gloves that are made out of a thinck tensor bandage material and when my hands get really bad, I put them on with Voltaren! I find they help a bit but really wish they had the fingers and thumb in them cause they still really hurt! However, I’ve found if I wear clothes that are too tight or constricting, the pain my whole body feels after even half an hour is horrible! Love my stretchy jeans, my loose tights and sweatshirts with no bra but some days, it would feel better mentally to dress a bit nicer but it’s just not worth the pain!!

My God, there is such a thing of rib cage pain. I hurt so bad on my left side in my ribs. My doctor told me that was what it called. I didn’t believe him because it hurts so bad and I can’t sleep at night for pain. We did MRI, Cat Scan and Xrays. I been hurting 13 months now and there has been nothing that he has giving me to stop the pain. So if you know something to help me with this pain. Please tell me I’m so tired and I have lost 40 bls. In 3 months.
I wear a longline bra and it helps but I want it to stop totally. How much longer am I going to hurt?

I find that compression makes me feel worse. But, everyone has their own symptoms and ways to get through the day. Don't know what works until you try.
