Hi Jen

I have been gone. So I just caught up.

I can give you some news about the hose. You would feel a lot better if you had the hose. I would definately call the doctor and explain just like you
did to us. That your feet and I'm guessing legs say to maybe the knees
or lower are very swollen. To the point you can't get on shoes.
Meaning if you went out to the store, say and bought a new pair.
You would have to buy a pair that is say 2 sizes bigger than normal.

(This is what happened to me.) I thought it was normal. Because I needed
to go up in size for say 6 months. And back down, so I had the sizes.

Anyway, I had a physical therapist that was dealing with things with
my hands, or legs at the time. I'm sorry that I can't remember exactly
See I am and was a regular at the time.

But I asked my therapist, about the pain in my feet and legs. She noticed
the swelling. And asked if she could call in one of the other therapist.
Who dealt with this issue. So this one told me to get some relief I needed
Support hose. So they asked my doctor for a order.

GOt one and I got relief. And honestly could walk again without the pain
all the time. And my hose were a godsend.

To say the best thing that happened. They were.

The other thing my doctor asked them to tell me. Was to make sure I wasn't eating salt. She felt it might be my problem.

So I definately would suggest going to the primary.
Ask to go to a physical therapist to be fitted for the support hose.
Because if you just buy some, you usually buy the wrong size.

I tried that when I wanted a second pair. I wasted more money
than just asking how much they were. It turned out I could buy
a second set from them cheaper.

And I did, because I had problems washing them. And needed two
pairs.

I hope this helped.

Please Call tomorrow.

I see my migraine doctor tomorrow.
