I saw a pt who specializes in lymp pt- nd she measured me for sleeves nd gloves- nd said she would hv my dr fax the scripts to the company- I made a trip of 100 miles just to find out he never faxed the scripts- am in a lot of pain- and ready to make my own sleeves and gloves- I know you can order them thru amazon- do I need a script for them?

took about two months for me to get glove and sleeve. Hated the wraps.

i have lymphodema and I went through the gloves and sleeves quite fast. i was glad when I could just wear one a day. I think that now you can get them at places like amazon, the problem is you have to get fitted for the sleeve/glove, at least the first time...

I bought my compression sleeve from Walgreens.

If you want your health insurance to cover the cost you need a doctor's prescription. If you buy on your own all you need is measurements of your arm. My lymphedema physical therapist did this for me.
