Where to buy compression socks

MicheleA

Hi all, I have PTS and need to wear compression on one leg.  My doctor told me to order some online and I have....for sports, etc.


However, I am looking for a nude pair with open toes and heels for wearing sandals in the summer.  Does anyone have any recommendations on brands and where I can find them?


Thank you!

Hi, everyone can someone recommend an online resource, where can I order such socks?

I can recommend it https://www.funnypetsocks.com/ .
Although you know, at a time when we are all forced to isolate ourselves. These are temporary requirements. As life has shown, we can adapt to any conditions. Right now, all the resources I'm talking about, internet sites, are designed so that you can have whatever you want. Of course, I would like to mention the guarantees that are provided to the buyer. So that's what I'm getting at, now you can buy better quality compression socks. But since we all strive to be individual, there is even a service that allows you to make a unique design of your socks. If you have a favorite pet, then you can order a pet face on socks. Isn't that cute?)

I'm sure you already found a solution by now, but every 2-3 years my doc gives me a prescription and I take it to the medical supply store. They measure my legs and order what I need. My DVT leg is larger than the other, so I feel more comfortable ordering this way than online. You don't have to have a prescription to order from the store I use, but it helps on the cost.

    We all have 24 hours in a day.  How we spend these hours is important.  Watching a little bit of a video about how sitting affects us made me aware of how much sitting and laying down I do.  Gonna have to work on that.Your turn.  Tell me another truth.
