I'm wondering if it's possible to substitute an ace bandage for a compression sock. Are they interchangeable, or do they serve different purposes?

I'm trying to apply an ace bandage, but I'm not sure how tight I should wrap it. I want to make sure it's not too loose to be effective, but also not too tight that it could cause discomfort or even damage.

Excuse me, I'm trying to figure out how to properly use an Ace bandage. Can you guide me through the process step-by-step? I've heard it's important to wrap it in a specific way for optimal support and compression. Should I start at the ankle and work my way up, or is there a different approach? Also, how tight should I make the wrap? I don't want it to be too loose, but I also don't want to cut off circulation. Can you provide any tips for adjusting the tension as I go? Additionally, how long should I keep the bandage on for, and are there any signs that I should remove it sooner? Finally, are there any precautions I should take when applying or removing the Ace bandage to avoid injury?

Could you please elaborate on the effectiveness of using an ace bandage to reduce swelling? Is it a widely accepted practice among medical professionals, or is there a lack of evidence to support its use? Additionally, are there any potential risks or side effects associated with using an ace bandage for this purpose? How does it compare to other methods of reducing swelling, such as ice therapy or elevation?
