Has anyone who was borderline a size 7 due to post-op swelling purchased a 7 and it worked? My calf size is up a bit, but fits in the size 7 range. The thigh is a disaster still and about 2 inches over the thigh range from the swelling. Not sure if I...

This is probably best addressed by your surgeon or physical therapist! My best guess is it's OK, however I am not involved personally in your care and not the last word.

Rec'd open toe by accident, didn't make them send me what I actually wanted. Would much rather have closed toe since open toe is for observation of swelling etc and it bunches up in your shoe. Socks really helped tho.

I originally ordered a s/m and had to return them. They were for small feet. I was unclear on the sizing at first, as well. The S/M on the package fit up to a size 6 or 7. The M/L fit sizes 7 or 8 up to 10 or 11. I have a size 10 foot and went with the M/L. I would say a size m/l would be the best way to go for a size 8 foot. I don't think the sizing will matter for the calf. I am pretty sure the sizing is based on the foot size. The calf size seemed the same amount of material for both sizes. Hope I didn't confuse you. M/L :) would be my suggestion. I ordered that size for my friend who has a size 8 or 9 foot and she liked them. I originally ordered a s/m and had to return them. They were for small 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.

Unfortunately, "large" is a very relative term. You won't get all the coverage that a person with a smaller leg might get, but I believe you probably can get sufficient coverage to help. I believe you can contact the company who makes the product and get a clearer idea. But, Amazon is great about returns. I'd buy one, give it a try for size when you receive it, and return it if it doesn't fit well enough. It overlaps on my daughters ankle and foot. It's a great product. I hope it fits you!!

Honestly, I purchased one for my ankle. When my ankle swells, it gets a little snug and I sit down and rest. But, if I'm resting, it is so pain relieving and warm. Incredibrace has it's own website and you might want to go there (http://www.incrediwear.com). Their website says to measure two inches above the knee. I hope this helps. You probably can purchase for less at Amazon. Good luck if you decide to buy it. I love mine.

I would look at the sizing chart. I believe it shows sizes in adult sizes though so keep that in mind when ordering. I'm in my late 20's and a medium for me fell below my calf. Something to consider. Best of luck, Kay Dubs!

to find out what size to order, find out the size of your leg. if you look at the size chart on the box, there is a spot on amazon to see the size list under the product pic, it will tell u what size u need by the inches of your calf. As far as the compression goes I go with the firmest because the mediums slip down my leg and compress where it settles instead of the whole calf area. Hope this answers your question.

Not good if you have larger calves -- I wear a 15" boot circumference... this barely makes it around my calf. It's supposed to be 2" above the ankle. So sad.

If your legs are truly quite thick, you may want to try the Large. I found that the fit on the medium was tight (as it should be) even on my small calves. If your calves are larger, they'd be uncomfortably restrictive.

when i read the paperwork it does say to order 3 sizes. you have to decide whether you are swollen due to injury and you will unswell someday or not. i had no injury so i ordered one size. some mornings my splint takes a little "coaxing". most mornings i'm fine. i was prepared to order more sizes if necessaery. good luck. i know you will enjoy your splint.

Karen, check out the mediven website. You have to measure yourself and then get the appropriate size. I have large calves and wasn't aware that these were even an option until I'd been wearing the regular ones for months and I decided to investigate. The wide calf option makes a huge difference when you measure properly. Good luck!

Warning: I have a 32 waist and couldn't even get the medium size ones over my calves (17inch diameter calves) let alone my quads (22 inch diameter). I ordered the Large and I'm hoping I can fit them over my calves at the least.....

For me the socks were not over the calf. I found them to run small in size and I gave them away. I went to the local BIG store and bought some diabetic socks.

I recall in the hospital they sort of turned it inside out, got it on my foot the correct way and then sort of rolled it up my leg. At home here my husband had to work at it. It is not an easy thing to do. I had to wear large (that is what they gave me in the hospital) so maybe you need a large instead of medium. In any case you basically have to tug and pull as they are very tight. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Frank I had to purchase 3 different selves. I am on the heavy side and the Mens XL and the Ladies XL were to small and cut into my thigh and rolled down the largest size they had the elastic band still cut into my thigh and rolls down. Because I had to go to a larger size the selves it self is to lose to do my knees any good. So I would use the size of your thigh and your weight to determine what size to purchase if possible you can try to reach some one at Tommie Copper, but I hear that can be hard to do.

Mine was fairly swollen and it just barely fit around but there is an adjustable strap on top. You just might have the lower strap stick to your skin or sock if it won't fit all the way around. However, this was one of the largest ones I found and the others were way too tight, especially the stretchy sock style.
