Can anyone help find inexpensive compression garments?

I'm on disability and they are not covered by my medical.

Hi

Try Looking on the internet for a firm Called: Day Long. These are the least expensive I have been able to find. I don't know why you cannot get them on the Medical, I get mine on NHS. Good Luck!

See if your GP will refer you to your nearest local lymphoedema service, see LSN website as they have a list of where these are. Try Macmillan for small grant if need be to fund travel to clinic if need be. If you are seen through GP/clinic you should be able to get through NHS on prescription. Good luck with getting proper treatment.

Not sure if you live in the US..but there is a company called Barton Carey that makes very inexpensive custom compression garments for about 1/4 of the price charged by the more expensive companies such as Juzo or Jobst.

I have to wear compression pants. Rather like shorts. I have 1 pair from nhs, the rest i just go to the likes of primark and buy them for £6 each. They r just the same and my odema doc is happy enough with them.

me too. My Gp does not seem to care either. You need to find a specialist or nurse in a lymphatic clinic.

Mine prescribed them for me and sent them home for me. My private healthcare does not refund me anything. It is all for my face. Welcome to the club
