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!

Compression socks help move blood from your feet and legs back toward your heart. They also keep swelling down.

Sorry, I meant prevent blood from pooling in the feet. I don't know how effective they are for specific knee joint problems.

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

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.

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.

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.

I didn't try to sleep with them. This particular brand did not give me enough compression (I'm 145 lbs). But my 83 year old husband, who has skinny legs found the this brand tight enough to wear during the day that his legs didn't get as tired (he walks about an hour and a half). I prefer the compression socks with specific milliliter sizes, rather than those which are just small medium and large. I ecommended a different brand, responding to an Amazon question like yours and my answer was removed. Neither found the need to wear them at night.

I don't think they could snag, and they don't won't run. They're more stiff (less stretchy) than another pair of compression stockings I have (travel stockings), which probably contributes to the durability. Even though it advises you to hand wash, I put them in the delicate cycle and they're just fine.

I bought these for my teenage son who doesn't have large calves per say, but I did check socks to answer your question, and they are quite stretchy. So I would think that they would work for you.

No. My husbands legs are very swollen and I can't get these on him. Better for ankles...Sorry

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

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 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.

I don't think it would as compression stockings are quite long. I find it works best for short socks as you have to bunch up a longer sock and then after you remove the sock aid you have to pull up the sock manually.

not sure, i bought them for my aunt; she has blood flow issues that when standing prolong periods, has pain issue. I do suggest buying a size or 2 higher (in your case, x large or larger), she complained it being too tight. Because these are meant for lower parts, I doubt it would work for thigh.

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.
