Oh dear. Yes they just don't seem right. I think they must be the wrong size. Tight is one thing but bruising...-!

Not sure what i can do over a weekend. The hospital is half an hour away and theres no one to drive me anywhere, not even a pharmacy. Could try ordering some online but they could be days getting here. I'll have a look to see if Amazon have anything. Thanks xx
