Does Ankle Genie go around big swollen legs

I bought it for my mom, it is not designed for that & come in one size. It is not good, but she decided not to have me send it back, good support, but not for big swollen ankles. I suggest a good old ace bandage. Or see a doctor.

They will if you wearing heavy socks and slacks. I wear a pair of pull-on knits which are comfortable to exercise in. My ankles are very small (I wear a 2 petite) and I find they do slip a little. The key is to really hold them tight and make sure you put them on tight. Good luck with your ankles.

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.

The answer is no. Please read below: 1- To find your size, first measure around the calf (widest part of lower leg) and also around the ankles. Go to the size chart on the product page and based on the mesurements taken youll find your size. 2- The support is determined by severity of swelling/edema. Mild swelling will do with a 15-20, I wear 20-30 Large with a calf 16.5" when swollen. 3- Any compression over 20-30 is best determined by a doctor as it may cause unwanted side effects or dangerous over compression if not needed. 4- If your problem is lymphatic drainage, there re ways to manually massage for relief and these stocking compliment/work like magic. Always best to check with a doctor first.

I would say so, my ankles are pretty small but there is more than enough room for someone with a larger ankle.

I have large legs and have no problem. I love mine. You will not be disappointed. The ice packets seem to lose their fluid. I just replaced them after a year.

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.

Especially if you have hand weakness or bad ankles, use short socks and stretchy material. Too long without curve for ankle to bend to get on leg. Best if sock only to ankle at most. There are assisting hooks to help pull up and down socks which I am looking into. this is not of use with calf length socks by itself with swollen bruised feet and ankles from a bad fall.

My ankles tend to swell and when I take my socks off there is usually an indentation, with these the was none. HOPE THAT HELPS.

The real purpose is to reverse gravity, so the spine will decompress. While upside down, the swelling in the legs will also benefit from the reversal of gravity, and be pulled toward the heart, but it may not be the most effective solution. Compression knee socks work well for me to reduce leg swelling. I bought stronger ones, like ACE bandages, at the drug store, and they are very comfortable to wear as well.

it goes by the length of from your heel to the top of your cast and around the widest part of your cast on your calf. But, they are not for heavy people like me, since the top was so tight I could not bear to have it on, even though the wider part fit over my cast just fine. Basically, if you look like a JC Penny model, it will be fine.

I lock tight. but when inverted my feet come off the footrest. Basically your ankles are holding you so you doing slide out. That allows the stretch of your complete legs and spine. Hope this helps. I have a pinched L5 and this relieves the pressure in my spine.

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.

It does have an extra padding around the ankle area. It is not really big so care would have to be taken to position properly.

It fit me perfectly, I am also a size 8 regular and had a double grade 3 sprain. My ankle was swollen to the size of a small mellon. It does give lots of support and it came up about 6 inches below the knee. It comes with extra padding I used when the swelling went down a bit. I was very pleased with the product and saved a lot of money. I hope this helped.

yes, a object rolls the length of the foot in a pattern. It also squeezes the legs, which I don't have a problem with, but some people think it is too tight. You will need the lift the leg supports via the computer console so your legs and feet all fit comfortly.Jessica

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.
