IS anybody here wearing them and if so what do you recommend? I've never worn them but they seem like a good idea, there are just so many to choose from I'm not sure what I'm looking for. Any thoughts or recommendations are appreciated. Thanks
Wearing Compression socks; Ride a stationary bike and/or jog, its a silent health alarm to increase your endurance.
I used to wear them when I was OTR. They were called Travel Socks and I purchased them on Amazon. They made a huge difference for me. My legs didn't cramp when I wore them. I still wear them when riding my mountain bike. Don't need them at work anymore. I work construction trucking now and get plenty of exorcize.
I get plenty of exercise, I'm talking in terms of the long driving hours, we as drivers put in, they seem like a good idea. I'm not sure what you mean by "silent health alarm" Jerry...
If you can keep them from getting wet excellent. More of a fan of tight undershirts than leggings. Or in your case meggings xD
I was referring to poor circulation: in the early stages it's real subtle...however with progression: [h=3]Poor Circulation?[/h]Problems start once blood flow become restricted to certain parts of the body. Often people notice it at the extremities of the body such as the toes or fingers. However, it can affect everywhere. One common cause is a build up of plaque on the insides of the blood vessels and capillaries. This is usually caused by fat build-up on the inner cell walls. In mild situations this can just cause a little discomfort. However, if it worsens it can become rather serious. Some of these more serious conditions can be high blood pressure, heart problems, hypertension, organ damage, strokes, varicose veins, kidney issues, and other blood restriction difficulties which may arise. As well as these "diseases" or potentially life threatening problems, there is also the more mundane problems caused by poor circulation. One that is not often mentioned by specialists is the simple day to day living of eating food and getting your body to properly process its basic nutrition requirements. The blood circulation system is the prime method of getting needed nutrients to the cells of the body. If blood flow in an area is poor then the cells will find it very difficult to get all of the food nutrients and energy they need to absorb to enable the body to operate in a healthy manner. These comments are generalizations: Work related issues, such as sitting too long behind the wheel or at a computer for years can cause these problems. Especially if you don't take regular breaks or exercise a few times a week.Give yourself a few minutes off every couple of hours. If, your arteries are not strong enuff to circulate blood thru your arteries, using compression socks will mask a problem. Sitting behind the wheel for extended periods of time is the real problem, only breaking the cycle and getting frequent exercise will correct the problem...poor circulation...not devices.
