After weeks of waiting, my Jovipak slip-on nightgarment finally arrived the day before Christmas. It has been allright so far, not too tight – actually not tight at all – not too hot and not too stiff. Much less stiff than bandages. It's a little dificult to put on but I guess I will find my routines eventually. I haven't noticed any difference yet but I've only used it a couple of times as I have been away at my parents over Christmas where I didn't bring it. It is quite big and takes up a lot of room. I'm thinking about going on a trip next spring and I am wondering if it will fit in my backpack.
The garment supposively works by softening and massaging the tissue so the compression stocking can do its job more effeciently, providing compression and leading the now mobile fluid away. I have heard good things about the Jovipak so I am excited about getting started properly. As sad as that sounds – looking forward to sleep with a ugly, very padded boot. I guess you know what I mean – I am looking forward to my leg getting better.
It comes with an extra sort of stocking to put on top of the boot itself to create more pressure. I might try that soon.
