Guest guest Posted July 12, 2002 Report Share Posted July 12, 2002 Hi Barb, I tried the baby powder with the compressing socks and I guess I was too generous, promptly slipped through the powder...pretty klutsy of me!!!I never did get them up couldn' t reach well enough...is the benefit really worth the tugging and pullling? Are they really hot? I'll try anything once....marge [ ] compression socks > Sam, > I have always thought that compression stockings were mostly used after > some surgeries to reduce the chance of a thrombosis and were not really > supposed to be worn like you would regular stockings.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2002 Report Share Posted July 12, 2002 Hi everyone,thanks for all the info on these socks. Now I know not to buy them. I have a hard time pulling on a regular pair of socks so compression ones would be impossible. Isn't it great to be on a list where no matter what the question is, at least one or more people can help. Hugs June Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 12, 2002 Report Share Posted July 12, 2002 hahaahha i am sorry but that is funny.. after i read the email this afternoon about the baby powder and i was trying to figure out a way to apply it...i thought vaseline might be more my inclination...hahha they are not hot....they are soooooooooooooothing...they bring a warmth of blood to the veins....one of the reasons i put them on in the eve while resting on the bed is that i know when i am digesting foods my core part of my body obviously needs the blood to digest and so the legs and arms and feet get cooler...so this was a way to help me keep the circulation going... my logic was try it if you dont like you lose 29.00 bucks american for them so that is 25 cents american... get the light weight to start is my suggestion.....my legs just feel less stressed and warmer and the veins are not struggling so hard for blood flow..but i think we will all find out our own individual experiences and look forward to hearing them. hugs sam [ ] compression socks > > > > Sam, > > I have always thought that compression stockings were mostly used > after > > some surgeries to reduce the chance of a thrombosis and were not really > > supposed to be worn like you would regular stockings.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2002 Report Share Posted July 12, 2002 I do have to say that I am really getting a good smile with the mental picture of you guys fighting with those stockings. Sorry, can't help it. Hope you find an easier way soon. Love and Hugs Stacey in PA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 13, 2002 Report Share Posted July 13, 2002 Me too! I had to wear those things after having phlebitis. They were awful to get on and off! a > I do have to say that I am really getting a good smile with the mental > picture of you guys fighting with those stockings.
