I wear higChatDoctorpression stockings 24/7 for lymphadema since 2000. Is there any new treatments out there that I could try that are not painful when the stockings gather or they stockings slide down or gather at certain places. It is very painful since I cannot keep these stockings from gathering in certain places. I have tried everythine to keep the stockings from doing this and it is very painful and I get minor infections from this. Please help.sincerely, Rosemary Hull. calicoarrts@ yahoo .com
Hi rosemary, I can understand your concern and pain. I would advise you to keep your legs raised and keep doing foot exercise to aid in your venous return, a pillow or two below your leg area of bed before you sleep is a good idea. Also stockings do help especially when you are standing apart from this there are surgical maneuvers that many surgeons perform to aid in proper Chat Doctor. You need to consult a surgeon for that especially one who has done the lot of surgeries for filariasis.I hope this helps do let me know if you have any more questions for me.
