Re measuring

[TeresaMay]

I have been wearing Haddenham compression stockings for several years. At my last Doppler test I was remeasured, as I am finding it very easy to put the stockings on. The measurements appeared to show I might need a smaller size but there are different types of stockings and the nurse was reluctant to change the size. Has anyone else had this problem, please?

Sounds like the lazy way out! If your measurements changed and you have reduced in volume, then you should have been provided smaller garments - not the same ones - which you obviously have if they are too easy to don. Call the clinic, tell them the new garments are way to easy to put on, and could you be remeasured for a smaller size please. Do you get made to measure or off the shelf products?

[TeresaMay in reply to Lynora]

They are off the shelf products, but there are two types and the measurements on one scale show I still need a larger size. We do not know why. I have received helpful treatment from the nursing staff at my GP's practice and do not want to cause a fuss. My original measurements were made at a local hospital and I am discharged from there.

Is there a product code on the label inside the garments, or on the box?

[TeresaMay in reply to Lynora]

Lots of codes!
