Compression Socks

[Fred]

Recently, I have been giving a the diagnosis of Vasculitis and my dermatologist wants me to try compression socks. So far they absolutely suck. How is someone with bad hands suppose to put these on? Any bright ideas? Also, I have a sausage toe on the right foot. These sucks are absolute murder on both the toe and the back of my ankle. I am tempted to take some NSAIDs just to relieve the pain the socks have given me. Any suggestions.

I had those when they removed the veins from my legs, had to pull them right up to my groin damned awkward things to get on. I never did find an easy way apart from getting Mrs Fred to put them on for me.

Though painful on psoriatic arthritis toes at first, they do work so may be worth sticking with.
