Leg Health and Pantyhose

All of us probably know that long hours of standing or sitting can result in leg fatigue, leg aches and in the long term will lead to having vericose veins and other leg/vein related problems.

It is also said that support pantyhose can assist in blood circulation in legs and helps to relieve leg fatigue due to better blood circulation.

My job is desk bound and that means long hours of sitting at the desk ... and I tell you .. my legs do ache at the end of the day sometimes. Did not know what to do about it until doctor advise me to wear support pantyhose/socks.

At first, i thought ... men in pantyhose??? But thought I gave it a try ... Initially, it does feel uncomfortable, but after a few days ... it does feel quite comfortable, if the size is right. My legs do feel less tired and less aching with the support pantyhose.

Since then, I have been wearing pantyhose under my work pants. Been 2 years already. Will keep wearing them.
