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!

To be honest I don't know. I do know that my Mom (who wears a size 6 to 7 shoe) couldn't even pull the stockings on. We had to return the item because of this. For someone who is elderly and doesn't have great strength I wouldn't recommend this product.

These will definitely help, depending of course of how different lengths your legs are. My problem is that my scoliatic spine causes a natural lean towards one side. Working with my physical therapist, we determine that I need more than one set of these. I keep 4 in my left shoe and none in my right shoe.

I believe there are other stocking aides out there that would work better for thigh high. If the thigh high are compression stockings, then I know it doesn't work.

I can't tell you for certain. It depends on a number of things. I suggest going to a medical supply store with the stockings and try it out in person, or if you order it, make sure that it can be returned if it doesn't work for you. It just was not helpful with my mother's issues. I tried to explain that it might work for some people, but it was not helpful in our case. Basically, you roll the stocking down the form and put your foot in, then pull up the coated wire device. I think it should work as well for open toe, but it didn't work for us regardless, so you will have to see if it's right for you. If lower legs are large it may be too tight. Maybe there's a larger size, but we only saw and tried this one. Good luck. It might help some people, but not us.

They are a wonderful tool for putting on stockings that are too tight to pull on. I guess you would start at the toe just like a regular stocking and feed the stocking down over the Jobst. Pull it up halfway up the calf and then do the other side. It is certainly worth a try. The Jobst is very sturdy.

Yes - I have both wide feet and wide calves and these fit great. I have short legs, though, so the extra width of the stocking may take us some of the length, I can't say.

They are much easier to get on than full length panty hose compression stalkings. They're not much more difficult than putting on regular knee socks.

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

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.

These did not fit me, but I'm a woman. I suspect that by "medical grade" you're referring to what doctor's would recommend. Doctors typically measure your legs and feet, then prescribe fitted compression socks. They're very expensive, but they are wonderful for those who have serious circulation problems. If you're just looking for quick fixes (such as wearing them on airplanes) these would work fine. But if you have medical issues, then you may need to get a doctor to measure you and prescribe compression socks.

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!

I got mine 6 weeks ago, last week the Velcro started losing its stickiness. I tried a fabric shaver but with no luck. Keep in mind, I have large legs and strap the strap to the front of the braces because of that; if they fit around my legs as proper braces for my legs would, I am sure the Velcro would be holding up nicely as it seems high quality. Short answer: if these are appropriate for your leg size, they will be fine; if not, you my want to find more appropriate ones

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'm short with thick legs and the stockings fit fine. The elastic doesn't dig into the back of my knees, and I've never had a problem with any runs or holes.

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.

Hi Karen - I purchase these stockings and first went to a pharmacist who measured my leg and sized me for the stockings - I purchased my first set from the pharmacist, and thereafter, once I knew the propser size, purchased the stocking on-line. Hope this helps.
