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.

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.

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 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!!

My thigh is 20" and my calf is 16". I can get the large on my leg but it is tight. You should probably get the XL size to be comfortable. If it is too big I'll trade you my large.

I highly suggest that you opt for adjustable knee supports (i.e. one w/ straps, Velcro & hinges) while you still have some swelling on your operated knee. Then buy this once you feel the swelling is COMPLETELY gone; though one of the best knee supports I've had, Bauerfeinds have some tendency to stretch over time and due to wear and tear, so you might also consider going down a size if you are the type that washes supports a lot. Hope this helps. #Roadtorecovery

this goes from your foot to your knee,or just below the knee cap,it fit but it has to be tight to seal.my leg was about 16 inches around at the largest point, and still lots of room in there,because this is going over a cast or a bandage its kind of hard to tell you how large, depends on size of cast or bandage.

My guess is, that this is a one size fits most. My calves are a little over 18" at the largest point and these fit just fine. Just a little more info. I really like the way they feel. May not need them as much since I learned my solius muscle was my problem and now I know how to stretch it separate from my gastrocnemius. They really keep your calves warm, they are really sweaty after a rigorous workout.

I am a big guy. So don't laugh. It would have helped to have the circumference of your thigh in inches. so I did an experiment. My calf is 16 1nches in circumference. The groin wrap fit securely around my calf. I hope this helps.

I purchased X-large and they are 6.5 wide at the top multiply that by 2 and add 1/4 inch, stretch to 8 comfortably, maybe large would be better. I have never measured my calf, but they are large from playing soccer.

I have a very large calf and I have a lot of room left that I could expand to. I weigh over 300 lbs. If you would like me to actual measure, please let me know and I will do so. I have a size 12 foot and the large fits fine for length as well.

I used to wear 8 extra extra wide, perhaps the same as 4E. I bought the narrower of the two sizes which were offered some years ago. I would put them on at night to hold down swelling that occurred during the day. They were fine for a few hours but I would need to pull them off before morning. More recently, I bought just one for the foot that still swells. I bought it in the larger size; it was too loose to help.

I actually looked at what the size was at my doctor's office...and they were using 3", so that is what I got. If it helps I can tell you my ankle is 9" around (now healed) and the largest part of my calf is almost 16" around, and there was still plenty of stretch left in the stockinette.

My calf size is 14 inches and it fits conformably. I would imagine the larger the calf the tier it will get. I sometime prefer tier when walking so i put on two pairs one over the other.

I purchased the sock size that fit my shoe size (which was a medium). I have a 15 inch calf and the socks fit quite comfortably. I have problems with fitting socks over my calves. Not so with these.

I have the same problem but they ask for the calf size and mine fit great. I will admit I fell right between two sizes and took the larger. Here is a link for the sizing chart. http://www.foryourlegs.com/skin1/images/medicalfchart.gif
