surfgirl14 Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Hey guys. So my pediatric cardiolgist perscribed me comprssion stockings that come up to the waist the 30-40 pretty much the highest ..... After the first day of wearing them I noticed my leg was very itchy and hurt badly. I wore them anyway again and then this morning woke up and can barly walk on my leg. It is my right leg (my whole lower right calf) I am now using crutches for support. Has this happened to anyone? My mom has called the doctor but we have yet to hear back? Also my leg is swollen.Any info would be nice thanx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icesktr189 Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Is it red and swollen? That could be a blood clot I would call your doctor if it hurts that bad! Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katybug Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 I agree with Dani. Also, your not wearing them at night are you? You are only supposed to wear them when you are up/active during your day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfgirl14 Posted December 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 No I am not wearing them at night at all... I actually only wore them only like 2hrs and that was it. But now I am kinda scared bout the blood clot thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icesktr189 Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 A hospital can detect one really easily... the sooner its found the better! I hope everything is okay with you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
