So I wear my compression stocking as tolerated, I have extensive nerve damage in the leg and foot so there are days when regular socks are painful, I worked two grueling shifts the past two nights and the swelling was pretty bad so today I pushed through the nerve pain and wore the stocking as long as I could so help with circulation and swelling, and kept off my feet as much as possible. I’ve never been able to sleep in the stocking though so I took it off, and pain has been unreal. And my leg feels frozen but when I touch it it’s not actually cold. Just wonder if I’m losing it or if anyone else deals with this.

Hi @JamieC I have to sometimes wear compression stocking during flying and I don’t think I could wear it when I sleep. My avm is in my head but I did have an earlier CVST stroke that left me with nerve pain. Drs put me on gabapentin but doesn’t really help sometimes I use a cold therapy machine at night to help I wonder if that would help? I volunteer at a place where we give out free medical equipment hopefully there is one near you. If not let me know
