Will these pantyhose help eliminate cramping in thigh and calf? Besides the swollen feet and ankles? I am 5ft 8in. with a 170lbs. I purchased the med

I haven't tried this brand on yet, but most compression stockings will relieve swollen feet/ankles (temporarily). I don't know about cramping. You may not need pantyhose; there are other options that stop at the knee and/or thigh.

not sure, i bought them for my aunt; she has blood flow issues that when standing prolong periods, has pain issue. I do suggest buying a size or 2 higher (in your case, x large or larger), she complained it being too tight. Because these are meant for lower parts, I doubt it would work for thigh.

I bought for my wife she has varicose veins and they do help with the pain. I would also look into dietary suppliments like magnesium along wth cherries or cherry juice which helps relieve muscle cramps. I use a knee compression support which has helped a lot with knee pain to the point I avoided another surgery. Calcium is what mucles use to cramp and magnesium use them to relax.

David, I ordered the size according to the height and weight chart and they ended up being too snug and actually ran so I returned them. Unfortunately, I can not answer the benefits of wearing these hose. My intention was for circulation support and not cramping. In the future, I would probably order Jobst brand.

I don't know about thigh cramps; I've only ever had front and back of legs (below knees). They are very painful but this product does help me with those, especially after a long day on my feet.

Hi Andrea, If swelling of the ankles is a problem, you might want to give these a pass. The entire sock fits snugly. I don't find that the top is any tighter than the rest of the sock; the whole sock, however, is snug. My husband, found them a bit too close-fitting for his comfort. Hope this info is useful to you. If there are further questions, ask away.

I have varicose viens that are med to bad on the top of my right foot..a few spider viens in both legs/feet. I have invested a baby fortune in compression socks & #1 I couldn't see they did any good #2 I'm not sure I'm even stron enough to get them on #3 they always irritate my skin, they sweat, they are impractical for daily wear. The TC stockings are compression BUT you can get them on, they don't cut off circulation @ my knees, they don't sweat, they are comfortable to wear all day and they control the pain & occasional clots in the varicose viens--I LOVE THEM, I don't think of them as stylish but with pants & tennis shoes I guess no one knows or cares. Hope this helps

If you put lotion or cream on your leg before putting on the hose it will be harder for the hose to stay up. I've found they slip but still stay 4-6" above the knee. Unfortunately, I don't know if the hose will stay up in bed. It is worth a try especially if the hose has been recommended for you to wear. They have made a big difference for me. Good Luck.

I bought these for my wife through Amazon. there is a chart that fits you to your shoe size, but you seem to have problems that your shoe size may not help. I do know that if you find a pair that will fit your needs they will definitely bring down the swelling in your ankles and calves, in most cases. There are support stockings that zip on, maybe this type may benefit your needs more or talk to your doctor for suggestions.

I would say no. I am on my feet all day and I wear support stockings with a short pair of crew socks over them and that solves the problem. By the way, when I bought Miracle socks on amazon, they were not near as tall on the calf as the ones I got from Walmart.I don't know why that is, but they were and I couldn't use them.

If they are light compression it may help, but I will be honest with you. This product in my opinion was not meant for anything but socks and it does work great for that purpose. I do not wear the compression stockings so mine is only a guess. I am truly sorry that I am unable to be of more help to you. May God bless you and yours always.

Yes, in my opinion, you should be concerned. *My* thighs are large (not even overly so - 5'8", 160pd) and they don't stay up at all. They still keep my legs warm (from just above the knee to the foot), but they don't stay up (for me). I wear them under sweats.

I purchased these compression stockings a while ago in the small size and my calf diameter is 14 inches. They still do not sag and still holds compression very well. I use them every day. Open toe helps because it will not compress around the toes. Good luck!

They do stretch pretty good, you would probably be o.k. with the 8-11 size, unless there is a tendency for the persons legs to swell up..

I didn't try to sleep with them. This particular brand did not give me enough compression (I'm 145 lbs). But my 83 year old husband, who has skinny legs found the this brand tight enough to wear during the day that his legs didn't get as tired (he walks about an hour and a half). I prefer the compression socks with specific milliliter sizes, rather than those which are just small medium and large. I ecommended a different brand, responding to an Amazon question like yours and my answer was removed. Neither found the need to wear them at night.

You should be able to wrap them tightly. I have fairly thin ankles and they work well for me.

You'd have to put the pantyhose on one leg at a time. If you only pulled each leg up to your calf and got the feet pulled on to fit, I think you could then ease the rest of the legs up together on each side, at the same time. I've never tried it as I don't wear compression pantyhose, just 20-30mm pressure thigh highs.

The velcro thigh straps are adjustable but we would not suggest these for use on anyone over a size 7/8. They may not fit someone with voluptuous thighs. Cant wait til the manufacturer comes out with a Queen Size! Thanks for shopping with Vert Delivery.

Not sure about that situation, I got them because I have calf pain at times and these offer my legs a mild compression support and warmth which helps with the pain and soreness.

I remember reading one customer stating she was approximately my height 5.4 and weighed 140 lbs as I do. She got a med and was happy with it. I have long legs, and since they are a pantyhose style I opted for a large in case of shrinkage. I bought two pair one in beige and one in black figuring if they were too big I would send one pair back and order a med. Well, the large is perfect!! Compression is excellent! Length is perfect!!! I have had these since Oct. of last year. They wash beautifully, do not fade, elasticity is still 100%. Just hand them to dry overnight. This item is fantastic, and the company sent them quicker then the noted time when ordered. I am sure you will be very happy with this product.
