oh man, compression socks are so good. Did women know this all along, is that the deal with L'Eggs in the drugstore?

I’ve just got old enough to appreciate elevating my feet above my heart (it’s not a matter of circulation, but unpressurized lymphatic drainage) but this is so much better

Pantyhose is full-leg, though. Do they make compression programming socks?

Hm, these ones go from like 30 mm/Hg at the ankle to like 20 just below the knee, even on a day that feels particularly swollen that’s too much, but 15mm/Hg didn’t make enough of a difference. I think I need like 25 at the ankle to 15 at the knee to like 10 at the thighs

For now, though, I got some Epsom salts to try for a foot bath
