I abhorred the idea of wearing compression stockings
recommended by my orthopedist when I went to him complaining of the severe pain
in my calf muscles. As a teacher, I stand long hours and this pain in my legs
is an occupational hazard.
The doctor assured me that compression stockings would
certainly alleviate my discomfort. As the TV in his clinic was showing the
Olympic Games, he started pointing out the athletes who are all wearing
compression stockings.
I started feeling the receding of my skepticism. He
then explained how blood vessels that carry blood to different parts of the
body stay close to the surface of the skin and how these specialized footwear help
in better blood circulation.
I was convinced. Now my quest begins for the best
compression stockings.
BTW, which color should I choose?
