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!

Hello,I really like the TruForm. When I wear (at least one on left leg every day) it does not feel tight but when I remove, there are lines in my skin in he calf. If you wear the stockings with the correct side in, instead of inside out, I get definite lines. I really like these stockings, I still roll around on the bed putting them on in the morning but I do not put my nails through them. Hope this helps I would not live without them.

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 should say "I don't know' But checking on what thrombosis is - you need medical treatment - but stockings like these are good for post med care to prevent further vein bulging. Before wearing such stockings I had symptoms of bulging veins, itching - Now wearing them most days all day, there is little of this now. One could even wear all night if not bother sleep.

I don't fly, but I do not think it would make a difference But people with blood clotting disorders would not be any safer with compression socks. I would ask my physican.

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.

I can't say that they are "medical grade" but after my knee replacement, I cited the specs of these to my doctor and PT who said they have enough compression to easily equal or better the typical white compression stockings. They worked a treat for me even while I was still in the throes of severe and constant edema shortly after the knee replacement.

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.

Sorry, I have no experience with that particular stocking. It doesn't work well with my 30-40 closed toe stockings.

These are pressure bandages and if applied properly will cause clotting. If you are asking if they are hemostatic agents, that would be no. You would want quick clot or celox gauze to use with these bandages.

Bythe ease or difficulty you may have in putting on the stocking.Also, you can measure your let at ankle, calf, etc. and compare measurements as shown on package

I think you can use them for either. I use stocking waders with shoes over them n these fins work awesome. I'm sure you could tighten them down to work with just stockings if you wanted.

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.

Try this sight for answers to this question. FYI the Vairox is the best stocking I have found for "ease of putting on".http://www.compressionstockings.com/jobst-vairox-3040-mmhg-knee-high-open-toe-compression-stockings-with-zipper-p-539.html

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

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.

It should work, they stretch good enough for movement but not as much too loose its shape. You should be ok since they fit snugly.
