Re: Advise on different kinds of compression sleeves?
I wear the Juzo #3512 (I believe the # is 3512). I also have to wear a gauntlet. That is also a Juzo #1101 (I think). Will your insurance pay for any? Mine pays for 2 a year. But this time I was tired of getting physician orders and making an appointment to get fitted so I ordered them online from "The Pink Bra". I think on sale they were about $68.00 each for the sleeve. Make sure you get measured properly before ordering any on your own. I do have some trouble at the top of my arm where it wants to roll. But I've tried different brands and this is what works best for me.
