I have a confession and I know they are supposed to go in cup of joe but its triathlon related.

The other nite I was whining about my ankle and my wife went and got something out of her dresser and told me to put it on.

It was a support stocking, knee high. I was skeptical but she wouldn't here any of my arguments. I put the thing on and the next morning I woke up to an amazingly smaller ankle. After 3 days of it, I have to admit it really helps. The ankle still swells over the course of a run but I am now starting from a better place.

Thank you, I needed to get that off my chest.

Gotta say, I've been wearing the compression socks too. When it is daylight, I put full tights over them to hide them (oh the embarassment) but they have helped me with troubled shins. I too have confessed. And I have worn them to bed, on the advice of my podiatrist (don't ask).

3 Hail Marys and all that.

I'm wearing my SLS3 compression socks in my avatar.

And as you can also tell from my avatar, chicks dig 'em. Cool

If you send your man card with your check you get a 50% discount on your Oprah magazine subscription. LOL that's pretty funny but i guess if it makes your ankle feel better. Don't they have like those blue neoprene compression things you wear on your ankles and such ummm not so ladylike???

I wear Skins compression tights during & after my long runs - I can run for longer and I recover really quick, no aching muscles and joints.

Now that I can see your compression tights in your avatar, I think we are talking about different things :P

My wife's ankle swells for no reason at all.  She went to an orthopedic doc. He prescribed compression socks.  She wears them around the house and the swelling goes down.  The strange thing is that the swelling doesn't seem to be related to her running.  She can run just fine, no pain.  Sometimes her ankle swells, sometimes it doesn't.
