Workarounds Described

• wears compression thigh socks to manage leg pain
• uses On Cloud shoes for comfort
• tries to self-diagnose cause of pain without medical guidance

Implied Software Gaps

• App that assesses compression sock fit and recommends correct size or type
• Tool that tracks daily pain levels and correlates with footwear and activity to identify effective remedies
• Platform that provides quick, evidence-based self-care routines for after-shift recovery
