Mine have the rubber nubbies too. I use a roll on glue that is called Medi-fast. I got it from my therapist. I am almost out and have to look up where to buy it.
Can I get back to you on it??

My stockings have these rubber-like nubbs that are supposed to keep the stockings from slipping, but they don't work at all. I have never tried the adhesive strips you are talking about. What are these and where can I buy some? Thank you.

Thanks! I quit the Lyrica long time ago. I just won't do it so I suffer through the aches and stuff. Better than gaining!
have you tried the adhesive stuff for clothing to get them to stick

I did see a different therapist after all this. I got my legs wrapped, but the wrapps never stayed on. I was given custom made compression hose as well, which also don't stay up. I have compression boots now that act almost like massaging blood pressure cuffs for my legs. I haven't tried them yet. I hope your doctor puts you on a different med soon. I hate when meds make one gain weight! I have had that happen too. Thanks for responding.

I currently wear compression stockings and LOVE them! The pain is WAY less for me with the stockings and TERRIBLE when I don't wear them. I feel the stockings give my legs lots of support. It gets hot in the summer, but it's still worth it. I've gotten to the point I just wear capri's. If someone thinks I look stupid with my thick stockings, that is their problem. I am determined to spend time outside in the warm weather, just as long as my fibro doesn't knock me down.

I am SO sorry you have to deal with such a jerk! Have you recently started taking new medication? I took Lyrica and gained 40 pounds in a month! I have yet to lose it, but I'm waiting for my WLS date. (Passed pre-op tests, etc) I can't wrap my legs either cuz of my size, so my therapist got me weird wraps I closed up with velcro and wore socks under them so the first layer of velcro would stick to the socks.
After that I graduated to compression stockings. Custom ones, of course. My lymphedema therapist also used some pulse massage therapy. I don't know the name of it, but it gave HUGE relief.
Hope you get a new therapist soon!

Thanks for everyone's response and concerns. I DID have my surgery on Dec 11th and it went off without a hitch! My surgeon told me it took 1 hr and 20 minutes. He said I was no different than anyone else he's ever done. He seemed surprised to me so I asked and he said he was. lol! I literally have no pain. NONE. I had some discomfort the first few days that was gas related but once that passed I really didn't have any pain to speak of. It was hard to drink anything except the protein drinks at first but now I feel awesome... And it's only been just over a week.
So I say to anyone that's on the fence about having this surgery... Get off the fence! I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
Merry Christmas, Happy Hannakah, Happy Kwanza, Happy Holidays... And Happy New Year!!! 2013 is going to be a GREAT year!!!
