Re: Compression Stockings and Pain in the Legs

[Guest guest]

Hi a,

My wife wears them to bed. Compression stockings do relieve pain in the legs as

you get a massage wearing them. You can also wear them on a normal day, in the

office or at home.

Hope this helps.

Thank You Carl for sharing this.

Would you know what compression your wife wears ? There are so many different

kinds as well. Does she get the compression stockings at the local pharmacy or

online.

Thank You again for your message

Hi a

 It would be a good idea to check with your doctor. Some of the stockings are

prescription so your insurance company

might pay for a few pair.

I have nerve damage in my legs and the thought of putting any kind of stockings

make me want to scream, but they

do help many people.

My Mom wore the thick kind like panty hose because she had multiple blood clots

in her legs over the years. Each

time a doctor tried to take her off of coumadin, she developed another clot.

I hope they help some of you.

All,

Ebay also. Lots of choices and prices. Bennie

Hi a,

Nothing compares with what my wife puts on her feet. This is a special pair of

socks designed by an American university. The patent was bought over by a

Japanese company and sold commercially.

Ebay? I've tried imitations of this special socks, they are very fake!

In fact just last week my wife told me that a friend's company was selling this

very same type of socks - looks like, feels like, sounds like - but they are not

of the same class, quality and performance! The patent cannot be copied!

Anyway I will be checking them out in the coming days.

Cheers!

Thank You Kaylene and Bennie.

Carl,

Thank You for your feedback and sorry for the late reply.

I would be curious to know what is the brand of the special pair of socks you

were referring to please ?

I searched on ebay but I am not sure I want to buy my compression stockings on

there.

I finally made a purchase from www.LegsTherapy.com

They have many brands. Shipping was free and really fast.

I ordered Therafirm compression stockings from them as they are more affordable

and I am quite happy so far.

I will let you know how long they last.
