cbtlab Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 My 22 yr old daughter has had a blood clot in her left leg. She has been told to wear support stockings but they are so uncomfortable. Does anyone have any that aren't so tight at the waist but still firm on the legs.... She is short and although not overweight she isn't skinny!!!!
jcarr492 Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 Good luck...I can't even stand to wear regular panty hose cause they cut in to my abdomen and leave that crease like their too tight. UGH.
freesia39 Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 can she wear compressor shorts or bicycle shorts? spanx may be too tight...
cbtlab Posted March 30, 2008 Author Posted March 30, 2008 NO bicycle shorts. have to go from toes to top...... This is something she will ahve to wear as often as she can forever.....and man there is no way any we have found are comfortable.... someone should invent something.......
tokanm Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 Didn't the hospital give her a pair of TEDS stockings? They should have they are made specifically to prevent/avoid clots
Penelope Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 My friend had to wear those when she was pregnant, even in the summer.You may want to try a maternity store. Maybe they will be a little roomier.I think they are supposed to be tight to help with the blood clots. I thinkmy friend got the support stockings online. Here is one site that has them: http://store.babycenter.com/product/code/3951.do?scid=SSE:BZRT&srccode=cii_10043468&cpncode=12-45312889-2 Good luck!
