Hello all,
Quick bio, I'm 31. I am obese (5'3, 229lbs) yuck
Last year I overdid it (in a weight loss attempt) and went roller skating for the first time in years. My legs burned and ached, but I just kept pushing and skated the whole night, figuring it would go away in a few days.
We over the next week, SEVERAL bulging varicose veins popped up all over my legs..I went to the doctor where they did a vein study and said I have a venous insufficiency (which basically means that the blood is now back-flowing down into my legs instead of easily flowing back to my heart).
I was prescribed baby Asprin every day and compression stockings that go up to just under my knee. I got the cotton kind that are white and they feel great when I have them on and my legs do not hurt most days.
Well that wasn't quick was it? Sorry!
Now my question, I want and need to wear them at Disney or I know that my legs will swell and ache badly. We are going Mid November. Do you think I will be dying if I wear jeans to the parks? There is NO WAY I will wear these things with shorts or capris or the sheer ones, you can definitely see either of them. I know there has to be others who have worn them to the parks. How is weather in the morning and evening? Maybe I could wear the jeans in the AM until I can't stand it anymore and then change into shorts and take them off then put them back on when it was more bearable in the evening??
Trying to think of another solution..Trying to lose weight..but the doctor says they do not go away with weight loss, but that will prevent me from getting more..
Thanks for any advice!
