Can every day usage of compression stockings cause numbing in legs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: Compression stockings can cause many symptoms if they are not properly fitting. I have seen over the years a multitude of complaints from wearing compression hose including numbness, cramps, itching, rash and even spasms. If you are having any discomfort following the wearing of compression hose, then you should try a new pair or get a custom fitted stocking.
