Do compression socks/stockings help vasculitis in the legs and feet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vasculitis: The compression stockings are certainly beneficial and will help with issues of swelling of the lower extremities even if there is no evidence of venous insufficiency. Vasculitis as an inflammatory reaction is not treated with use of compression stockings.
