I have had blood clots in my left leg. Stockings too difficult to put on. Would these work in my case.

DO NOT put compression on your legs if you've had a blood clot until you get evaluated by a healthcare provider. You could be compressing your existing veins/ arteries that are bypassing the clot and cause problems. Sincerely, a nure practitioner

If you have clots, these compressions would be too tight for you. I do not recommend purchasing, rather to find stockings that are only knee high. You can find those at any surgical supply store.

I can't say for sure. I wear them because I have leg pain. I'm not sure if its from poor circulation or not, but they help tremendously. I would recommend you try them, it may help in your situation. I will say they run a little tight, so you might have to go one size up. Good luck!

Reasonably so; the rubber is soft and flexible. don't synch it too tightly as this can cause thrombosis, or clotting which can be really bad when a clot is released. Rubber against skin does tend to stick and not slip o'er much. More to the point I guess, is that it doesn't work well OTHER than on bare skin. Against cloth or other fabrics, it has to be synched VERY tightly or it'll slip and the last thing that you need is a tourniquet if you aren't already bleeding out.

A co-worker told me she wore compression stockings during her pregnancy and was pleased. Not sure if these are right for you, you should ask your doctor. My dermatologist noticed my legs were swelled from working and told me to wear them. She stands on her feet all day and told me she wears them every day. My legs feel great after work. Good luck with your pregnancy, but you should always consult a medical person.

Good Afternoon, Unfortunately, the stockings are sold in pairs. If you are only needing for 1 leg, it would not harm you to wear on other leg, or you would have a 2nd sock when the other loses compression. Thank You and have a great afternoon. ~Kim with Support Hose Store

they are not one size fits all. I went to a medical supply store and they will measure your leg for the correct size.I started buying thru Amazon after i knew my size because they are much lower the medical supply store.

I am not familiar with that problem. But they might, if you wore them upside down. I would try one or ask a PT you trust.

You might want to go to their size breakdown. These are compression tights. They are for running so muscle and joint support. No idea about veins. I am 5' 3" 109-110 lbs and wear XS.

If you really want calf and knee compression fully then you can buy the calf skins. These tights help to increase my bloodflow and help me to feel more powerful especially when doing legs. I do not have any calf injuries or knee injuries but I use these for Spin and Heavy Leg Days.

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.

I am not a MD but I don't see why no. Any compression stockings that are comfortable will work. just be sure they are not to tight at the top that they cut off the circulation. just like any other sock.

I doubt they would work. They are not that strong and the movement of the leg would undoubtedly loosen them.

Hi Karen, I went to the store and bought the first pair. They measured my legs and gave me one of about 5 sizes that these come in. I then went to amazon and bought two pair at almost half the price that I paid at the store. I have found these stockings to be comfortable and have noted that they do not roll down or crease much if at all. I think if you follow the sizing chart correctly you should be happy with them. I cannot say that my calves are unduly large, but I started wearing these after vericose vein surgery last year, I am still wearing them. Please feel free to contact me if I can be of any other help.

We didn't keep this device as it didn't really work for us. It may work for some. I suppose if you are creative you might be able to use it for removal, but I can't imagine that it would help. Can you just roll them down? I realize the stockings are tight and it would be nice to have help, but I can't imagine that this would make it easier. You would have to stretch the top part enough to put it back on the donner while your leg was still in the stocking. I suggest going to a local medi-supply place and seeing one in person. That should answer all your questions.

I am not a doctor but I think not. They help pump the blood while you stand, you should ask your doctor for advice so that you don't create a problem because of the socks. I stand 8 hours a days and with the help of these socks, my legs don't get as swollen and tired like they used to.

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 have poor circulation and in the hot weather, my ankles swell. The sock seems to help the circulation as my legs are not as tired and they help keep the swelling down. At this price they are certainly worth a try. They surely cannot hurt. Hope this helps.

I used this pressure stocking as part of my post op recovery for a left knee replacement. As such,I needed mild to moderate pressure as opposed to stronger pressure stockings that one might use for phlebitis or other circulatory issues. In general, I found the pressure to be mild.
