Are There Any Alternates For Compression Stockings For Lymphedema?

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please tyam 21 years old. Two years ago I developed lymphedema in the right foot only. In the beginning the oedema were in two legs but now its only in the right foot. If I elevate the foot, the size of oedema will decrease but if I walk without the compression stockings the oedema will be back. Doctors told me that I shouldnt be worried about that and also told me that it is not as a result of any disease, but due to a weakness in my lymphatic vessels. I try not to wear the compression stockings, although I do wear them in an emergency , because they feel uncomfortable wearing them . Is there another alternative that can help me? I want more details knowing that I didnt have any problem in my foot before please help me.pe your
