Can't Lift Leg To Put On Socks? How To Use A Sock Aid + Exercise To Help

[@lol4lol993]

My God! I was worried to death about my not being able to bend down to put my socks on.This is such a "life saver"!

[@More4Life]

Glad it was helpful!

I certainly needed to see this. I have bad hip arthritis and cannot get my sock on and off the left side.

[@More4Life]

Glad the video was helpful

[@krisharju8093]

Same. Thank you

It is easier to use this device if you put your socks on before your pants. Also, if you're putting on compression socks, this also works, and what is particularly helpful is to put on rubber garden gloves that have some texture on the palm side. Using the gloves, you can work the sock up a little higher, then using the palmer surface, smooth them up your leg to your knees. Unbelievable how well this works without pulling and tugging on your stockings.

Thanks for sharing your experience!

Hey thanks Doc! I'm waiting for hip replacement surgery your instructional video was very helpful. Do you have a video on weight training do's and don'ts after joint replacement surgery? You look like a lifter.

[@More4Life]

I don't have a video on that. It depends on the surgical approach they use, and each has different precautions. As your surgeon and your PT about the precautions before surgery, as well as for a timeframe when they'll allow you to return to lifting weights.

Great advice thank you - great job

You're welcome. Glad it was helpful!

[@tomtucker3193]

Thanks for the help. Can you give us some suggestions on putting your socks on using only one hand?

[@daisies4444]

Would this aid work for ladies tights or is there something else that would help? I fell and broke my hip and just cannot reach or cross my legs.

[@More4Life]

People use them to put on compression stockings, so I imagine it would work for regular tights as well.

Thank you.@@More4Life

I have stiff ankles, among other things. I have tried the terry cloth sock aid and never was able to get it to release the sock. Only worked for me with a stiff plastic aid and hand lotion.

[@e357magnum]

This helps me, as I have hip.issues and PN, and I wear long socks. My question is in regards to my man, who has bad knees but wears those little short sport socks that have no leg part. Any suggestions for him?

[@More4Life]

I wish I had a great trick for that, but I don't. Here's a video with ideas to help get the knee bending better so he can reach his feet though: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWfGgK2QqZ2Fr5o

[@tonyk3887]

Thanks! I'm going to try these exercises! This how I found you. I googled; I have trouble bending to put socks on. What's good legs stretch exercise for that?

[@More4Life]

You're welcome. And thanks for the feedback!

[@kathitzegai1344]

Where can I buy this sock aid? Thanks for your video...need hip surgery but first heart valve replacement.

[@goonigoogoo5868]

Where ????? You know how to make a stupid KZbin question but you don’t know how to google ????

[@Merrianna]

@@goonigoogoo5868 Please don"t be rude to people on line!

@@goonigoogoo5868 You are very rude! You obviously did not get taught manners by your parents!

[@maxlutz3674]

That "pin down the sock" move did not really work for me. I had the range of motion to just lift the leg and take the sock of before I was able to pin and slide. The stretch for putting socks on worked nicely however. It doubles as some excerse whhile dressing.

[@More4Life]

Thanks for your feedback. Glad you found at least one of the tips helpful.

[@margareterwee5063]

Can i use a tonic

[@Bellaclaire1]

Never heard of or seen a sock aid. I doubt they're even available here in South Africa. Any advice please,!

[@More4Life]

Check amazon. Here's the US link: amzn.to/3ZBPEKd I think amazon.co.za might be the one for South Africa

[@Bellaclaire1]

@@More4Life Thank you so much. I will have a look for it there.

amazing bicep...

I did not know that 😊

[@kathitzegai1344]

Oh, I am sorry...should have waited to the end...Amazon of course.

[@More4Life]

No problem. Glad you found it.

WHy didn't your camera person show you slipping your fot into the unit? That would have been the money shot. For people with diabetic foot, they need to know how easy/hard it is to finesse your foot into the assembled unit. Miss op. :(

[@Mary-t2u]

I wear basketball socks so i guess i figure it out

[@craftman5632]

If you can't put on your socks how are you going to cut your toenails.

[@rambido]

Kurt Payne designed a 22" long toe nail clipper which I use successfully. It is inexpensive and well made, called the 'easy reach nail clipper' by payne free products.

[@TattooedAussieChick]

I can’t cut my toenails. That’s what podiatrists are for 🤷‍♀️

[@goonigoogoo5868]

Dr ???? He looks ridiculous with all that water retention from anabolic steroids.

[@grandmajane2593]

He's a nice guy. Don't say bad things about him. He is helping us.

[@Merrianna]

Agree with @grandmajane2593! Check his outstanding credentials & note the positive comments of thousands of people he his helped in person with these helpful videos!

[@Merrianna]

@@grandmajane2593 Agree with you 100%. Dr. Candy has helped you, me & so many other people!

[@Merrianna]

@@grandmajane2593 Agree with you! He is an excellent PT & educator!

[@NIGHTSTALKERsixsixsix]

look my friend either you are just a hater or maybe jealous? but those are not from retaining water. they look solid and the rest of his body is pretty much normal to me. my buddy I grew up with had small shoulders but his arms were big and he had a 19'' neck but he's a pretty small guy. people grow different and here you are with nothing better to do but talk smack? Karma catches up to all bullies. you naughty lil boy.
