ted stockings are compression stockings that fit very tight on the legs and feet, they go up to the kness, they even have the ones you can get to go up to the thigh. It helps reduce swelling in legs and feet and it helps with blood circulation in legs. You can buy them at a nursing uniform store, or ask your dr where to get them or google them online.
Also call your dr to see what he/she suggest you to do.
Latrice,
What are ted stockings? I feel v hot under my feet though :-) My salt intake is less since the time iv conceived, my mom made sure of that.
Infact im asked to reduce sugar as well since my 1st test flashed it as high, though the 2nd one was quite OK.
dear friend, raising foot etc doesnt help at all.
u know i look tired all the while.
please please check with few others and tell me what to do?
? when you flex your foot do you have pain in your calf. sometimes when you flex your foot(point your toes towards your head) and u get pain in calf could indicate a blood clot. Swelling of feet is normal, try wearing ted stockings, reduce your salt intake and keep your feet elevated when possible.
