Do elevated leg rest pillows help w/circulation?
I've been thinking about getting one of those leg rest pillows, and they cost from $40 to $90. I'm young (early 20's), and I already have a couple of both varicose and spider veins (it runs in the family), and my legs ache a lot. I'm not overweight, and I don't stand for long periods of time. I've tried sleeping with just regular pillows under my feet/legs, but it's uncomfortable and my feet fall off. Should I get on of those leg rests? Does anyone use one and it's helping? If you do, is it worth it, and any recommendations on the brand and type? Anything else I can do to prevent leg pain/veins (not treat)?
Do you know how much of the food you eat that is genetically modified?
Answers:
Wear support hose. The problem with varicose veins is that the body is having difficulty getting blood back from the legs to the heart. Blood pools in the legs, causing a achy feeling, and at worse case, causing blood clots. Support hose helps a lot. Also, prop your feet up whenever you get the chance. It's easier for your body to get blood back from your legs when they are elevated. I don't know about elevated leg rest pillows, though. I've never used them.
Hope this helps!
