Chello Nurses!!!

I was wanting to ask you nurses that wear the compressions socks what you think of them. Im a type1 diabetic soon to start a job in dyalisis oon 12-14 hour days and want to take care of my legs as well as avoid tired sore legs. I have been off my legs for the past 7 months due to non union fracture that finally feels good and Im back in the land if the living and looking soooo forward to a new career path and getting back to work!!

Looking forward to any suggstions you all have to offer!!

Sockwell compression socks are the best, IMO. They are real socks, not those ridiculously hard to put on hose things a lot of people wear. I buy mine on Amazon.com. I have five pairs.

Do they come in non-standard sizes? (Can I get them short and wide?)

Sockwells come in a few different sizes, so they may work for you. I have thick ankles and calves (always have to get men's ski boots), and they fit fine.

Nabees are my fave.

So sockwell and nabees'. I will have to check those out. Do you all think they make a real difference? When you get home from a very busy shift are your feet not hurting and no sore legs?

Still had some aching legs, but no swelling (usually get a LOT of swelling of ankles and lower lrgs). In fact, I just placed an order for 4more pair.

My feet will sometimes still be sore, but usually only if it's my 4th day or fifth day (I work 5 8s), but my legs are never sore, so I call that a win.

I use a mixture of ProCompression and CEP. Both are made for running but I love them. Sometimes ProCompression has a deal where you can buy 2 and get 3 free. The codes are normally on facebook.

Pro compression and CEP sleeves, and sockwell! I alternate depending on what shoes I'm wearing (I alternate Danskos and running shoes) I love my sockwells but CEP sleeves are a close second and I like that I can wear different socks with them - different thicknesses, etc.
