hensor Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 I have a pair of compression stockings which I got prescribed by the NHS - local nurses should be able to prescribe them and a pair of 'skins' footless compression tights designed for runners/athletes.Have you tried asking your GP for some?

DizzyMe Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Hello,I am trying SPANX (ordered from next) they cover the thigh and abdomen area.I really don't know if they have enough compression power but they are very comfortable and described as control garments so I think they must give some help.Alternatively I have been told a GP can prescribe proper ones on NHS prescription.Melanie.
