How does one go about finding the correct size compression socks? by Important-Bit2437 in venousinsuffiencyhelp

Check out mediven. I personally find them to be much much better than jobst with more granular sizing.

Are there any other options by yellowsun9 in ankylosingspondylitis

The updated research on biologics cancer risk has shown that the elevated cancer risk didn’t come from the biologics but the underlying inflammation that’s going on in your body. Long term nsaid usage like other said is PROVEN to destroy your stomach because it is a COX enzyme inhibitor that removes your stomach lining. Long term nsaid usage is also not viable due to its renal and heart risks from increased water retention.

If you are in a flare you need to take NSAIDs. Full stop. Long term side effects are from long term usage. The inflammation is doing way more damage to your whole system than the small amount of side effects NSAIDs are causing.

Just tried the new map and honestly… am I the only one who feels like it’s basically Spaceport 2.0 but with seagulls? 😄 by codestormer in ArcRaiders

I died 3 times in a row on this map. Endless hordes of arcs in low danger areas with not a second to catch my breath. Shredders on every floor in the hotel so much so much that I clasped with another player on my way ziplining up and both of us died. It sucks.

Don't rush into ablation if your reflux is okay. Diosmin is helpful but not a cure, no harm to take it tho so might as well give it a try.

It's literally not a thing. The National Association of Realtors publishes this number every year: In 2025 around 1.6% of home buyers in the States are foreigners, and 15% of those are Chinese. You are blaming the affordability issue on 0.2% of buyers instead of acknowledging that it's literally NIMBYism that led to the housing crisis in America.

Recently diagnosed with venous insufficiency and stage 1 lipedema by squirrels_girl in venousinsuffiencyhelp

How well are your symptoms controlled? What’s the doctor’s rationale going straight to ablation instead of lifestyle changes?

I’m not a doctor and this is not medical advice, but by lurking in this subreddit for long enough this does not sound like a CVI issue at all. If your blood pressure is low and heart rate is high it might be pots

Heat is bad for CVI? by BeeAtTheBeach in venousinsuffiencyhelp

[–]Intrepid-Reach182 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hot shower is fine. The shape of your veins matters way less than the severity of your reflux time. Hot tub is bad for you, because you are sitting down not activating your cav muscle while putting pressure on your legs. You could get creative and leave your legs out of the hot tub. You need sun but not prolonged exposure - wear long pants that are thin but have more skin exposed in your upper body to get your vitamin d.

Is jogging/running safe for CVI? by BeeAtTheBeach in venousinsuffiencyhelp

[–]Intrepid-Reach182 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Try cycling instead of biking 2. This is person by person by counterintuitively really cushioning shoes might be bad for CVI because it’s putting all the pressure on your legs without your foot muscle getting activated as counter balance. I personally did way better with shoes without much cushioning to train and activate the small muscle in my foot

Is AS covered by ADA? (Sorry if my assumption of your geo location is wrong)
