Elastic support bandages
Posted: Mon Jun 19, 2017 7:18 pm
A few weeks ago I ordered a roll of support bandages from Amazon. This is what it's called: Derma Sciences GLG10 SurgiGrip Tubular Elastic Support Bandage, Large Thighs, 4.5" Width, 11 yd Length.

This is basically a long roll of fairly gentle elastic material that is made to hold knee or foot bandages in place. I cut strips that were the length of my calves and knees, and pulled them on. And they are helping. It is not the magic solution, but I do find I use a little less kratom when I'm wearing them, and best of all they are allowing me to sleep later in the morning. Previously, no matter what I did, by 8:30 at the latest I simply had to get up.
So sometimes they control the RLS and sometimes they don't. But they are cheap and comfortable to wear, so I don't see a downside. Plus the fabric is washable. And the roll is huge. It should last me a year at least. I ordered the large size, even though I'm fairly small, as I didn't want them to be too tight. Might be worth a try for some others.
