| Graduated Support Stockings Help Relieve Leg, Foot Swelling |
| |
| Your body needs the right amount of blood flow to keep your heart pumping, your legs moving and your brain functioning. Blood circulation, the movement of blood throughout the body, is clearly crucial to your existence, and poor leg circulation can cause many problems for individuals around the world. Graduated support hosiery can help relieve the swelling caused by poor leg circulation. |

| Why Do You Need Graduated Support Stockings? |
| |
If you have symptoms of poor leg circulation – which generally develop gradually – you will most likely benefit from wearing graduated support hosiery. Symptoms of poor leg circulation can include:
- Cramping or fatigue in the legs, buttocks or feet during activity. The pain, whether it’s leg pain, lower leg pain or foot pain, usually diminishes with rest, but will reoccur. Wearing graduated support stockings can help ease your pain and reduce your swelling.
- You may complain of a tired leg, general leg swelling or an aching leg. If you wear graduated support stockings immediately after noticing symptoms, you can help ease pain and swelling.
- You may also have cramping that occurs in your legs and feet when you are sleeping or immobile for extended periods of time. Wearing graduated support stockings during the day will help you sleep better at night.
- In addition, you can incur such symptoms as ‘cold feet,’ or feet that ‘fall asleep.’ Wear graduated support stockings while you’re up and about, and socks specially made for nighttime use while you sleep to help relieve symptoms.
