Miracle Socks

Miracle socks. 

I have seen these ads on TV and was wondering if anyone has used them ??

Is so what is your opinion of them ?

What do they do? Do they make you fly? 

Or perhaps dance like Ginger Rogers?

No they are supposed to help with swollen legs and feet.

I would spend the time utilising and exercising your calf muscles (which are your hearts for the legs)
and getting them pumping the blood.

If your legs are sore, you can even do it sitting down.

They work, but obviously only if you're wearing 'em.

Due to odaema, (swelling)  in my lower legs, caused by failing kidneys, caused by diabetes, I've taken to wearing them, as all medications tried so far have failed to reduce the swelling.

Also tried a whole raft of excercises - also to no avail. Walking, bikeriding, no squats, knees are shot, too, and a range of machines at the gym.

My GP suggested them, and until I remove them to go to bed, (a must), they substantailly reduce the swelling.

In bed and prone, the swelling doesn't occur, but as soon as I'm vertical in the morning - I can feel the swelling start. So yeah, the socks work well.

I was more than a little concerned, as the GP told me that continuous swelling can and will, lead to ulcers - which if bad enough, can lead to amputation!

Scared the h3!! out of me.

Grandmoon, I guess the swelling is worse in the hotter weather.

From what I just googled, there are a lot of favorable comments on them.

A lot listed on ebay from around $5. Beware the ones from china though.

And if they are similar to pressure socks used in hospitals, they must have some effect.

If they are for you, and the swelling is recent, think also about dehydration. With the hotter weather drinking more water can help.

i got pressure socks, full length. i even got a black pair somewhere from ebay (don't know where though).

i only put them on when my legs feel bad. putting the legs up helps too.

i tried to wear them at night but noticed that they make me itchy if i wear them more than a few hours.

don't know about wonder socks, why not just use good ol' pressure socks?

they work fine and are worth the money.
