A member asked:
Can i use elastic bandage instead of compression socks for diabetic nerve irritation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Careful: those bandages can be very irritating and I have seen them lead to constrictive problems because they do not remain in place very well. I would caution you to be very careful when using those type of bandages with diabetic neuropathy
