Working / Worked
It works pretty well. It's not a cure.
Working / Worked

Working / Worked
Worked at first, but doesn't seem to be working much now.

I had wraps put on for around 5 weeks. I also had massage and a machine form of massage which helped also. I now wear compression thigh high stockings all day long.
