Ladies. HOW are we working a full day?! My feet swell up and hurt so bad midway through a shift and my backs begun hurting as well now. I’ve tried the belly bands but it does nothing for me. I got new shoes that are bigger due to the swelling and with special inserts-nothing is helping😭
I am a manager at Panera and have a second job at Taco Bell for reference to type of work.

I’m a full time bartender so I get it! The only thing that’s been somewhat helpful is I’ve been wearing crocs with inserts in them and trying to take 5 min sit breaks and slide the crocs on and off when possible

Compression socks!

this is going to sound silly but I’m scared they’ll feel like they’re cutting off circulation lol! And I don’t really have the funds to waste if I hate them.

@Elizabeth I love the nurse mates compression socks! They don’t feel like they are squeezing or get uncomfortable! They feel like normal socks! Amazon has them for $15 or any local scrub shop as well!

@Elizabeth you can get some fresh with your insurance! Aeroflow website 🥰 they sent me 2 pair a belly band and breastpump

I work 6 hours a day and by the end of the day I almost faithfully need a nap
