Poor Circulation

[Shane the Pain]

Hi Ya'll,

Does anyone have a answer about wearing something on your feet that help improve circulation?

Thank You

I think most drugstores carry "compression" socks that help move the blood back up the legs.

socks and keeping your feet works somewhat for me.

Those socks are really a pain to get on.

"Keeping your feet" That is usually a good idea!

Helps circulation a lot, too, Barry. Otherwise, the blood all just pools around your ankles.

I use a type of leg wrap called Ready Wrap. It works like stockings keeping the swelling down. Expensive at $800 for 2 calf pieces and 2 foot pieces. They slide on over leg and foot and are held by velcro straps.

Shane,
I don't know if you have a walmart but I buy knee high diabetic socks in the mens department they are comfortable and can be worn to bed.
Since I no longer can use the hot tub I sit in the tub with hot water and rub my feet toes and legs a few times a week.

My hubby wears knee high TED hose and sometimes ankle socks. He keeps his feet elevated and usually covers up with a flannel blanket. He is totally wheelchair bound. We have neat booties that velcro for easy expansion as well.
