I just found your channel and love it. You seem very knowledgeable and kind. My mother’s in remission after breast cancer. I’ve shared your link. God bless you ❤️

It’s so easy when youre thin and have nice legs without swelling but realistically for those who have lymphedema it’s virtually impossible to find the right pair let alone get them on

[FayyahR]

Oh yeah, and the rubber strip at the top (to keep them from rolling down) is very irritating to my skin

[MsYouANDREATube]

One important thing as well, when you do take them off, massage the tissue where you find your tissue compacted, usually at the top and bottom. You don't want that tissue to be like a solid rock because it will effect the circulation and perhaps cause nerve impingement and or neuropathy, because you got tissues restrictions and the layers of fascia are squished together. With time, this will effect the body, if you don't add this additional self care to the care that you are taking to use the stockings.
Just a little more self love goes a long way!

My surgeon just recommended these. Placing order now.

Hey Kelly, hope momma and child are doing well ! Congratulations and blessings.
Great video !! Love my medical grade $19 eBay compression socks. My Lymphedema Specialist says I need to buy the $60 compression socks she measured me for, anyway !! Grrr.

[carlawilliams]

I wear them every day as a matter of fact I am going to put them on right now LOL thanks for sharing

[el]

Mine socks are way much tighter.. really not easy to get on and off.. but will try it again 😊

[Rayygunn]

Kelly are you expecting? If yes, congratulations!!!❤

[FayyahR]

Yeah I have script to wear full leg compression socks for 99 years 😂 BUT I can't wear a tourniquet! That's a deal-breaker for me.

[snapnflytravel]

I love watching your videos. Is there any brand you can recommend and where to order it from. I got arm swelling after 2 weeks from my flight and my bad could’ve used arm compression stocking.

[dawnschoeller]

How long at a time should I wear them?

[stephaniewimberley]

I've had conversations with doctors who mentioned that compression socks compress circulation rather than stimulate it. I can understand how that might be a bit confusing or disappointing. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[lindam]

Is there any contraindications for them, anyone who shouldn't wear them?

[ghanirehman]

I have one pair, made in china . It is working well and I wear it for two or three hours during nighttime.

[jewelsalustau]

When they turn into a tourniquet does it cause problems? It feels like my veins will explode so I’m scared to do more damage

[gingermonroe]

Thx, I try wear mine often
They really help
Don't sleep w them
Wish she would have given a lil mote info.

[myjourneytotruth]

Name of these particular compression socks please 🙏🏻

[vickiephelps]

Those socks are way too large for you. If you don't sweat while putting them on, they are too big. It takes me 30 minutes of wrestling to get mine on and they really don't do a lot unless I put on a second pair that has been cut to go to my toes and about 6 inches up the leg. This double compression really helps with my ankles.

[jenm]

So if I can put them on like a regular sock then they’re not compression?
