I had leg cramps at night that would wake me.
I started wearing compression socks on the right leg all day. That night I did not have any cramps in my right leg. My right leg on the other hand had severe cramping. The next day I wore compression socks on both legs all day. That night I did not have any cramping in either leg.
The next 2 days were fine at night but I had been wearing my socks on both legs. I tried not wearing compression socks for two days to test it; I had mild leg cramps that night.
I went back to wearing the compression socks daily!
I also noticed my toes would swell every afternoon about 4:00 p.m. This swelling stopped completely after wearing compression socks.
I am so pleased to no longer have severe leg cramps.
I have also discontinued
taking two of my medications for the cramping and swelling.
