You asked what r airoplane stockings, these are the stockings that are recommnded to wear on the plane particulary long distance flying to assist venous return (blood flow) from your toes back up to your torso. preventing swelling and the fomation of blood clots.

I have a problem with swelling feet and painful feet and legs. My doctor cut my dose of amantadine by a third and that seemed to help. I also have bad knees...

I'm sorry that there isn't anything that I can tell you to help. Maybe I can make you smile. I have Masters degree and have had several important positions and careers in my life. I've always thought of myself as an intelligent person. My right leg is fused and cannot bend because there is a titanium rod from my hip to my ankle. My situation it is that my leg sticks straight out there. The other night I looked down and saw that my left leg and ankle were very swollen. I looked and my right leg was just normal. That didn't make sense. Then it dawned on me that the right leg is elevated ALL of the time. Daaaa. Sometimes I amaze myself

I know how the pain can be overwhelming. I had the fusion before my diagnosis of PD. As bad as it irritates me I can't imagine the pain you must be suffering. I will try to let my leg remind me to pray for you.
You have my best wishes.

OK Kinda like compression stockings.

Is that the only pd med you take. My right ankle doesn't swell. Yes I know all about bigger size shoes. I am only on Sinemet.
