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.

Hi Shannon, my size comparison is based solely on my calf size. Maybe this will give you an idea of what size to get. The widest area around my calf measures 13.5 inches. The small size fit perfectly. I had to put some effort into pulling it on...but it was tight fitting and stopped the pain when I ran. Hope this helps

My calves are 7 1/2 inches in circumference and the XL fits me perfectly. The elastic is very stretchy so there's a wide range it can fit. I would go by measuring around the widest part of the calf and try to calculate from there!

Hi Marybeth; I know it goes around my top calf which is 18 inches and is very confortable. It would be confortable on a smaller leg and I think would be find on larger leg. I am very satified with my truform and have been wearing for several months now. I hand wash after every wearing and dry on a paded hanger, Hope this helps you. Patricia A Smith

I think if you bought the extra large, you should be just fine. I ended up going from an extra large down to a large because the extra large on my 15 inch calves just felt like a sock not a compression sleeve. I think I read under one of the reviews was a person with 18 inch calves and he bought the extra large and he had no problems

The bauerfreind website gives the measurements above and below the knee. The measurements are right on for each size. It is not a tight fit so it should work for a mild degree of swelling. If u have a lot of swelling u might need one size larger

You don't "feel" them exactly - if they fit right you forget they are on. What you should notice is that your swelling is under control at the end of the day and/or your legs do not ache. HTH! As far as sizing, they sizing charts they provide seem correct to me.

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!!

Linda, I found the chart to be accurate. I'm 5'9" and 195 and got the XL (largest size). I agree that large doesn't sound right to me, for you. Did you use a flexible measuring tape to measure your calf circumference? A piece of string will work.

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.

I checked on their website (incredibrace) to see how sizing worked. It had you measure your knee and then told you which size to get. I love ins between it and taking glucosamine I am a new person!!

Dear. CustomerAny leg size below 18" Mid Calf Circumference (Large = Regular Size) will be OK to use. Once air inflates to sleeve, inside of sleeve will be smaller than you leg size.

I was told. 3"above the knee cap & 3"below the knee cap, measuring around your thigh and calf area. Is a general rule. But this site didnt offer inches when I purchased both of mine. My theigh is 28", and this xxl is to small for me. So I haven't worn them yet. Good luck. I hope this helps.

I bought the large. I am NOT large but had some trouble previously with compression socks. The large digs in and leaves marks around the calf just below my knees. Almost like black and blue circle going around the calf. I suggest you try the large and see how they fit you. I need a larger sock but cannot seem to find any. Hope this helps.

I have a pretty slim/average calf (not skinny or muscular though) but I dont know diameter. They do not leave any marks or "too tight" lines on me.

Hi- I am 5'7" and weigh approx 130-ish, my hips are 36" and thighs at the widest are 20". While the tights take a bit of an effort to get into, they are comfortable once on. I am really glad that I ordered the medium size- as a small would have been to tight for me. I honestly do not know how they will work for your vein support, but can tell you that I am very impressed with the general leg and knee support when I run or snowboard. Overall, I am very happy with the tights and am considering getting a 3/4 length pair for the summer.

They are really like tube socks. I'm a woman with size 8 1/2 shoe size and they fit fine for me as far as feet go. My problem is really that my ankle and legs are very swollen so the top of the sock is too tight for me around and it goes only half way up my calf. So I had to snip the band at the top and roll them down. But that was a leg problem, not a foot issue. I hope this helps, it's all I've got. :)
