Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 5022816, member: 405"] I wear compression socks for my foot neuropathy, and have worn them for arm, knee and ankle pain from time to time. They do work. They improve circulation to the area, which aids in oxygen transport (avoiding lactic acid build-up), and the pressure triggers nerves and muscles to fire, which works kind of like how you stand up to put weight on your leg or foot sometimes to alleviate a cramp. In a way, it's kind of like how deep tissue massage works. But they totally oversell the benefits in these ads. It's helpful, but it's not a miracle cure. [/QUOTE]
