I saw an article on compression sport socks in the NY Times last week. They rated several pairs. The person rating was a runner. I wonder if they would be good for biking. I have had issues since June with ankle/lower leg swelling and been through the gamut of tests, and the p.t. did compression bandaging on me and wanted me to get compression garments. I didn't do it as the bandaging cost me almot $200 and the garments would be even more. Through it all I'v biked a couple thousand more miles, including 2 week long trips and a couple centuries and an MS 150. So I wondered if just wearing sports compression socks would improve performance (like they do for runners) and resolve the problem. I hate the drug store compression hose. ANy thoughts? ALso, I don't know where to buy them locally. Maybe a triathlete store?
