A member asked:
I am wearing an ace bandage. can it cut off the circulation in my leg if its too tight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ace wrap: Yes if the wrap is too tight it can circulation. Try to wrap the ace without excessive stretching of the bandage. Also, do no wear it all day and removed when sleeping. If you foot gets swollen or changes color then the wrap is too tight.
