Compression Stockings Helped My Restless Legs

I have never experienced Restless Legs before until I became ill just before Christmas. I spent 3 days laying about and feeling rather sorry for myself thinking Christmas would be ruined by the Flu. 

 

The first day I stayed in bed as I couldn't pull my head off the pillow, but the 2nd day bought a glimmer of hope as I ventured out of the bedroom and down to the living room, with the comfort of my duvet and pillow (and tv).

 

The 3rd day was pretty much the same as the 2nd, but I noticed my legs had started to ache and were restless, like I couldn't stop moving them about as I couldn't find a comfortable position to put them in. It then occurred to me that my Legs might be suffering with a mild case of Restless Legs due to my laying about for 3 days solid. I made no hesitation in grabbing my compression stockings out of my drawer and put them on underneath my pyjama's for the rest of the day (and night).

 

Having the compression stockings on to support my Legs made all the difference. Straight away my Legs felt more energised and they literally felt like they were being soothed, as the achy, sensation started to lessen. As I went back to the sofa to have a lay down, my Legs had yet to rid of the 'restless-ness', but it was certainly a big, improvement and I soon drifted off to sleep.

 

On waking, I realised that once again, my Legs had returned to feeling normal again, there was no leg fatigue or aching, and they certainly didn't need to keep moving about. The compression stockings that I used were the Solidea Night Wellness Support Stockings and even though they are designed for nocturnal sleep, I used them during the day, as well as at night-time. They really did help my legs to keep feeling normal and healthy, whilst I was trying to nurse myself better in time for Christmas, which thankfully, I did succeed in!
