which stockings are best for spider veins behind the knees?

The more compression the better the support for your legs, and the increase in circulation. You should get sized for a proper fit, however I believe 15-20mmHg is a good place to start and 20-30 would be preferred. If your leg feels numb the compression is too tight and you should go down a size. It should increase circulation, never cut it off.

Hemostatic gauze seems to offer the best solution for areas that need a more flexible covering. Try BloodStop or something similar.

Don, we were not able to use this device with compression stockings, even the 15. We returned the item. Instead, I cut about a one inch slit on each side (right and left of the knee) of the sock, gather it up stretching as I go down the sock and pull as hard as I can as I put the sock on my husband, and then gradually pull up, smoothing out any wrinkles. We have tried for over 3 years to find a sock aid that would allow him to put on his own socks and so far, we have been unsuccessful. I wish I had better news, but that is the truth. Lyn C

I'm 5'2" and 143# - size Small was fine. Also, I Googled Ted anti embolism stocking size chart and got to this site: http://www.dhphomedelivery.com/prod-ted-hose-kneelength.asp and then got to the Knee Length Sizing Chart -- that will get you the specifics you need. The chart that is shown is the same one that came with my stockings... and sorry, but I threw it away already. Hope this helps!

I bought for my wife she has varicose veins and they do help with the pain. I would also look into dietary suppliments like magnesium along wth cherries or cherry juice which helps relieve muscle cramps. I use a knee compression support which has helped a lot with knee pain to the point I avoided another surgery. Calcium is what mucles use to cramp and magnesium use them to relax.

I should say "I don't know' But checking on what thrombosis is - you need medical treatment - but stockings like these are good for post med care to prevent further vein bulging. Before wearing such stockings I had symptoms of bulging veins, itching - Now wearing them most days all day, there is little of this now. One could even wear all night if not bother sleep.

Gosh, I don't know how it would work with knee high nylon stockings. On a regular sock, you have to bunch it up so it doesn't extend past the end of the plastic slider. I used it to get the sock over the tip of my toe. Then you pull it back and extract the blue piece of plastic. What that leaves you with is a sock that's covering the entire foot, but you have to pull it up from there using your hands. It mainly works for people who can't reach as far as their toes, but who can reach their heel and ankle area to finish pulling them on.

Try this sight for answers to this question. FYI the Vairox is the best stocking I have found for "ease of putting on". http://www.compressionstockings.com/jobst-vairox-3040-mmhg-knee-high-open-toe-compression-stockings-with-zipper-p-539.html

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.

If one has varicose veins, a doctor's prescription for support docks is advisable. A friend of my loves them, my experience with them wasn't great- had to return them. Your physician will tell you what compression is needed in your situation Andorra often than not, Amazon will have them, or your local medical supplier. Hope this helps.

I wouldn't use these for those types of yoga poses. I use them for lunges during my crossfit workouts, but even in that setting they're a little constrictive. They do, however, really protect my knees.

I think they would help. That's one of the reasons I wear these kind of support stockings. I spend a lot of time sitting and wearing these stockings keeps my legs and ankles from swelling which, for me, is the main cause of leg aches.

I do not have large calves. However they do stretch and are tough to get on but any GREAT stocking will be. Hope this helped ya out!
