Is there anything harmful about wearing a g-suit?
When taking the OI test at your doctor’s office, be sure to discuss any possible problems with wearing a g-suit (or trying other OI treatments) that are specific to your health. For instance, your doctor may not recommend it, if you have pulmonary edema or congestive heart failure. (2) (These can be reasons not to use MAST trousers.) Also, discuss the possibility of decreased circulation to your legs and feet. Find out what to look for such as, discoloration of the skin, as well as pain or cramping, and numbness of the lower legs and feet. (3) (These can be problems with support stockings.) When wearing a g-suit, it should not hurt. Plan a follow-up visit so the doctor can check for problems. As always, only wear a g-suit under your doctor’s supervision.
