Some initial sensation of compression is normal, as your garment is designed to provide therapeutic pressure. However, it should never be painful or cause numbness. Extremit-Ease features independent adjustment zones and bungee tabs that allow you to quickly fine-tune the pressure. If it feels too tight or uncomfortable, simply loosen the bungee tabs slightly. You can adjust it throughout the day for maximum comfort without having to remove the entire garment! If discomfort persists, or if you believe the level of compression is incorrect for your prescribed therapy, please contact your prescribing office immediately.
