What Type Pantyhose And Knee Highs
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question 💭

Along with the Neuropathy I have Parkinson's Disease (diagnosed September 2010) Do any of you have problems wearing pantyhose or knee highs. My legs are getting cold and I it seems everytime I try to wear pantyhouse my legs get restless leg syndrome really bad and last night I tried Knee Highs and they actually made my legs hurt. DOES ANYONE HAVE SUGGESTIONS for Panty Hose or Knee Highs that I can wear or what type of fabric do any of you use.

I have worn compression socks for several years. As soon as the weather starts to turn chilly and I wear long pants, I also wear the compression socks. They help with my restless legs and circulation. I don't get the ones from the Healthcare Stores. I get ones from the pharmacy area of Wal-Mart or anywhere that has socks. They are not quite as strong, but effective. Just a personal preference.

think the knee highs and panty hose are too tight plus there is no warmth to nylon fabric get some cute animal socks and enjoy your self. plus knee highs are hard to put on - haven't worn them for a long time.
