I have just been told that NHS cannot supply the KAFO sock recommended for my KAFO!

Anyone know whether KAFO socks are available on NHS?

I was measured for and given a compression sock by my local chemist some ten years ago at no cost. I was told they were eighty pounds, over priced as usual. I too had a dvt some thirty years ago and I still have a swollen leg to this day @Wibbles.

But according to the chap that I emailed (from the NHS supply section) - full length KAFO socks "probably" are not!!

I was to be measured for a full length one two weeks ago but I became ill and had to cancel the appointment with a nurse. I am seeing the nurse about something else next week though, I’ll ask her whether there’s a cost or not involved. 🙂
