Couldn’t agree more. I do 12 hour shifts and I didn’t start wearing these until AFTER I started getting vascular ulcers, and it was too late. They also really make your legs feel amazing. PLEASEEEE wear compression socks if your on your feet for more than 8 hours.
I Work 12 Night Shift At A Psychic Hospital And When The Work Is Done And Everyone Is Asleep I Like To Do Some Pacing Back And Forth To Stay Sane And Get My Steps In, I Jus Order Mines So I'm Excited And Hope They Work 😊
Thanks Sarah! I wore compression socks for a while (although I don't think they were strong enough) and gave up lol but I might have to give them another try Can you do a video on your favorite shoes for nursing?
i have bi-lateral dvt. if it wasn't for compression socks i'd be bed bound. they sorta make ya feel like iron man when ya wear 'em. wish i would have adopted wearing compression socks before i got dvt. mountain biking real hard XC pre 2012. not pro, but fast amateur. then one day after riding real hard in 90+ degree heat and letting myself get dehydrated i got a cramp in my leg. couldn't put weight on my right leg, so hobbled into the shower, had to sit down. washed up, got in bed. about 2am my right leg spasmed and i woke up real quick. about 20 seconds later i had a PE in my lower left lung. passed out. woke up the next day though. that's all that counts. the brand i recommenced are Sigvaris. if you've read this far you get the compression sock pumpkin. and Merrell foot wear. don't ever take your feets and legs for granted.
Thank you for making this point! Everyone who spends most of their day on their feet, especially on hard surfaces, should wear compression socks - no matter your age or profession. The difference is like night and day, no joke! This little bit of prevention is priceless when compared to the nonstop agony of the “cures” decades later.
Then you need to put them on correctly. Lie down with your legs elevated above your heart. Dorsiflex your feet several times to empty your veins. Now put your socks on WITHOUT YOU GETTING OUT OF BED. BY DROPPING YOUR LEGS OVER THE BED GRAVITY FILLS UP THE VEINS. Your ankles will swell up if you put your compression socks on after sitting or standing up. I wore knee high compression socks 44 years of 12 and 16 hour shifts.
Compressions socks are so useful. Thank you for listing the link to these in your bio. I will definitely recommend it to my mom cause she needs some new compression socks and the ones in stores here are expensive. Also do you know of any good brands with solid colors such as white, black, or tan?
What would you recommend for funeral home assistants. We need to stand for about 7 to 8 hours, but we can't wear socks. It's business suits and business dresses 😢
Working in security industry.....on my feet all day walking miles .....both legs and feet have had previous serious surgery and with this comes lasting pain but the socks help ....sleep better ....less cramps highly recommend them....😊
I started a new career in Sterile Processing(cleaning/sterilizing surgical instruments and equipment). My feet have been killing me, I got some compression socks today, and my feet feel better. I will work tomorrow and see how it goes.
My 3rd pregnancy gave me awful varicose veins 25yrs ago. Without my compression socks my feet and ankles resemble those of Fred Flintstone--no joke! As a plus size gal I am beyond thrilled I am now starting to find fun colors & patterns in my size--including those very pair featured in your video. I can not even imagine attempting on of my 12+hr shifts without my compression socks!!!
I have those exact same socks n yes they do work wo nders, my feet n legs used to hurt at work because I walked the floor all day dealing with residents, lifting ,bending etc etc, when I put them on if elf the difference. I am wearing a brand new pair right now n they feel great!!!
Very interesting ! Good for men or women I suppose if walking on your feet alot 🤔. Good to wear if you have slightly high blood pressure take 10mg lisinopril daily ?
Those varicose veins look hideous 👀I just started those 3 days a week. 12 hour shifts. My legs r going to end up looking like that?!!!😩I will b ordering me some as soon as I get a chance. Thanks Sarah.
I might try these for my job (not a Nurse) it's only approximately four to five hours but I'm very active during work, Sometimes running/jumping or dancing.
In Germany at nursing home where I am interning at the moment, for some of the residents these compression socks are a total necessity for them as prescribed by the doctor.
Am I the only one who legs get irritated wearing compression socks or stockings in general? I wanted to wear them religiously for my 12hr shifts but it seems that my legs dont "like" them. Idk it sounds weird but it makes me just want to take it off during my shifts. It's so sad...
You are not the only ones, I hate the feeling, my legs get super itchy, irritated and my calves burn so bad when i take them off, im considering stop wearing them 😢
I get a little nervous wearing compression socks. Last time I worn them was in nursing school 2 years ago. The one I had was fairly snug around the calf, and loose around my ankles. At the end of my clinical, my veins around my ankle looked like udon noodles. I'm guessing because the loose fit around my ankles helped the blood pool more easy?
