I have had chronic Erythema nodosome for 30 years but it hasn’t bothered me much during the past 2 years. 3 years ago I was diagnosed as having Celiac disease. For the past half a year the symptoms of Celiac disease have been extreme. (I’m a roll a day girl) Now the E. nodosome has returned with a vengence. I have never experienced the typical dime to quarter size patch of inflammation I read about on the internet -rather it’s usually an area about 6 inches across, is flaming red, tight and feels quite deep – deep enough to tighten the muscles making it very painful to even lift my feet. They are presenting on the fronts of my legs, which is most commonly what happens. My question is – are the 2 symptoms related? I have recently seen associations cited for Chrone’s disease. My Dr. is reluctant to rescope as he feels I have a working diagnosis and we should go with those test results for another 4 years. Between the 2 problems, I’m not having much fun at all. Please help if you can, suggesting treatment that might alleviate this. I was prescribed Lugol’s solution, but have to admint I never actually used it because of the staining properties – I had just spent thousands on dental work – and the skull and crossbones on the jar. I was afraid of it. I am taking an international flight in a month and want to know if support stockings are recommended as well. Although this is a condition of the fatty tissue, it feels like vericose veins (ropey) and I would like some assurance that there is no connection to thrombosis. Thanks.

Compression socks go by a number of different names, you may hear them referred to as support socks, compression hose, high compression stockings or support stockings. They all fall under the same category; they are made to improve the circulation in your legs and feet, and it doing so relieve pain that is caused by the pooling of blood in the lower extremities. Despite the fact that you could probably not tell them apart from regular hosiery or socks, they do have major differences and discovering compression socks might just be the best thing that ever happened to your feet!

They come in all different styles. You can find dress socks and athletic socks for both men and women, and there are a variety of hosiery and stockings available for women that won’t compromise looks or functionality. Years ago when compression socks were first being made they catered mainly to patients with severe circulatory problems or varicose veins. Companies like Mediven, Juzo, Sigvaris and Jobst have improved on the quality and selection of compression support stockings and compression garments over the years. They can be useful for almost everybody, from athletes to people who travel regularly or work long hours and don’t get enough blood flow to their legs. They can help to prevent problems before they happen and with the new materials being used they are comfortable and fashionable as well.

If you have ever been running, or have been on your feet all day for some reason you will know the feeling of relief you get when you get up and get those sore feet elevated. It feels like instantly they start to feel better. This is because our circulatory system is always fighting with gravity when we are standing up. It is easy for the heart to pump the blood downwards into our legs but getting it back up is a different story. Especially after long periods of time, the blood can pool in our feet and legs and this can be pretty uncomfortable. It can also cause more serious health problems. Compression socks use graduated pressure to assist in the return of blood to the heart and reduce the amount of blood pooling. Wear them over the course of the day and you will certainly notice the difference.

Newer materials in use today have made the compression socks better and better. Polyesters, spandex and polymers have made them more comfortable and have made them look like regular hose or socks. They have also improved in quality, with better padding at the ankle and an overall better fit. The graduated nature of these high compression stockings is greatest in the feet, and then have progressively less compression as you move up the leg. This maintains pressure in the arteries and veins of the feet and lower leg and that prevents the pooling of blood. Go and give them a try, you will soon notice how much better your feet and legs are feeling and you will be doing your body a good turn in the long run.

Compression stockings could be called the savior for your legs. But just how do compression stockings work? Why do they make your legs feel so good? How are they different than regular hosiery or support stockings?  Compression stockings are becoming more popular today for the pure therapy of tired achy and sore legs. They are used to alleviate these symptoms of everyday activities. Let’s take a look at how compression stockings work and why they help so much.

Let’s begin by understanding human anatomy and gravity. To be more precise let’s understand, the anatomy of the veins in our legs and how they function. Leg veins consist of two separate systems; the deep venous system and the superficial venous system. They are responsible for returning blood along with waste products to the heart. The blood is carried or pumped through veins by contraction of skeletal muscles and gravity. When we walk or exercise our legs the contraction of the leg muscles actually move the blood through the veins. When we are at rest the blood in our veins flows only by gravity. Since our legs are lower than our heart the blood essentially stops flowing or flows backwards at rest.  To prevent this backwards flow, veins have one way valves that prevent this. When these valves fail they allow the blood to flow backwards and pool in the lower legs. This causes the veins to dilate and develop varicose veins.

When blood in the leg veins flow backward or stops flowing due to inactivity the waste products and excess fluids from the tissues remain in the leg instead of being carried away. This is the reason for tired, achy and swollen legs after long periods of inactivity such as sitting or standing in one position for long periods of time.

Compression stockings are designed to act like artificial muscles regardless of activity or inactivity. Compression stockings create compression of the muscle in the leg to force the blood to flow against gravity. This is achieved by the graduated pressure level built into all compression stocking.  Compression stockings are manufactured in different compression levels which indicate the graduation of compression they produce. For example a compression level of 15-20 mmHg indicates that the compression level at the ankle is 20 mmHg and gradually declines to a compression level of 15 at the top. This graduation of compression acts as a massaging affect on the leg muscles and promotes the blood flow.

Compression stockings are different than support stockings due to the graduated compression levels. Support stocking simply support the leg muscles while compression stockings actually massage the leg muscles.

Whit a better understanding of how compression stockings work you can educated decision next time you need a product that will actually help alleviate tired, achy or swollen legs at the end of the day.  The purchase of compression stockings instead of support hosiery is a much better choice.

As women, we deal with enough crap that makes us unhappy, so when it comes to things that can actually be beneficial to us and make us look good and feel good, we will jump at it! Recently I was looking for a few different products to help aid in the pain I have in my knee lately, and I came upon a few really amazing products. All of these products were made for women, they are stylish, yet beneficial and completely affordable. Some of them will help your back, others will benefit your knees, and even more, some of these will actually help you lose weight. By the way, these are NOT weight loss pills or some other product like that. Read on, see for yourself! Here are two of the many I found:

Compression Stockings: These may sound a little odd at first, but once you really read up on them and come to realize how beneficial they can be for your body, mind and energy – you will really start to find a new appreciation for them! These compression stockings are a type of support hose stockings. Really any kind of hosiery you find will promote some kind of support, but these compression stockings bring it to a whole new level. These stockings use compression and the promotion of blood circulation to increase the induction of lymphatic cells into your blood stream.

These types of cells are actually naturally found in the body and are said to encourage regeneration and a relaxed feeling to particular targeted areas such as ankles, calves, knees, etc. Overall these types of stockings can really make you FEEL better. They also can make you look good as well since these (like most other hosiery) come in all kinds of co lords and sizes!

Cellulite Pants: Another odd sounding product, but after you realize what it is and how much it’s going to be able to help you out, I can almost guarantee we will find you at the newest online store gawking at them! These pants quite literally help you lose cellulite and lose weight. Of course you will need to wear these pants just about anywhere for a long period of time to make it work. For some women this may be easier than having to actually exercise. It takes less time, and you will be wearing them while you are doing the activity anyway, so why not wear them and lose weight!

These pants use heat from your body and compression from the pants to promote circulation. Some of these pant manufactures also boast that specific types of pants are fitted to press on certain pressure points in the body as well. Of course they are also going to make you sweat which means you will lose weight, but also sweat out all the nasty toxins in your body as well! These on average have been found online for about $100, but I’m sure you could find them for a lesser price as well if you look around a bit more!

Obviously there are more beneficial products as well for women. In my opinion, though when it comes to style and comfort, these two factors hardly ever meet side by side. So when it comes to the above mentioned products that are not only going to make you feel better, but look better? I had to mention them. We all know that most women nowadays account for a product by not only how it feels, but looks as well! It’s just how the world works nowadays. The above mentioned products can be found online quite easily by looking for a website that specializes in leg wear, active wear or shape wear!
