@pattyunfinished: Why do compression socks hurt me? 🧦 For me, it’s not that compression is bad. It’s where the compression hits. With my lipedema legs, compression socks can feel tight around my calves and ankles, and that concentrated pressure can actually become uncomfortable or painful. Sometimes I’m left with a tight band or marks that just don’t feel good. That’s why I personally prefer compression leggings. 💜 They distribute the compression over more of my leg instead of creating one tight point around my calf or ankle. I find them much more comfortable and easier to wear throughout the day. But compression is personal. What feels supportive to one person may feel awful to another. If compression socks hurt you, that doesn’t automatically mean compression isn’t for you. It may be worth trying a different style, fit, or level of compression—and talking with a qualified professional if you’re unsure what’s appropriate for you. This is my experience with lipedema, not medical advice. #lipedema #compression
