I wear compression stockings, 20/30, is this the best for me ?

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 really don't think this will work. I bought this device for my father, who had a hip replacement surgery recently. He uses some heavy duty socks, which are a little less harder than compression socks. Well, the device worked for that, but honestly I really don't know if this will do the same for compression socks.

No, I don't think this device will work for you. I don't wear compression socks but a friend of mine does, and he needs assistance daily to put them on.I bought this because I have trouble (at 67 years of age) of touching my toes and have had difficulty every day putting on my wool socks - this certainly makes the chore much easier.

I have bought 2 and both people love them!! my mom can even put her house slippers on with them. they worked better than the $50 we bought at the doctors office. I would recommend them. like I said, both persons who I bought them for really find them useful.

If you are used to wearing compression socks you could size down. If you are not you might want to size up until you get a feel for what level of compression works best for you. I wouldn't size down if you are planning on wearing them for extended periods of time.

I have no idea what the compression number is. You will need to contact the company Miracle Socks. I would consider them to be the lightest number. These are not "true" support hose a doctor would order for a medical need.... my opinion only. I really like the feel of the Miracle Socks and find them to comparable to support hose I have purchased at the Pharmacy. As for shoe width, I again refer you to contact Miracle Socks.

I have the medium. Seems to work well for me. I have Thorasic outlet syndrome with poor circulation in my right arm due to an accidental gun shot wound. I love to wear these things. Feels great! Oh, my moms name was Ginny!

The sizing of the stockings is determined by the leg and thigh size around if you're wearing the thigh high. I would go as small as you can for the best compression, as the stockings stretch out eventually. I went down a size and like the smaller ones better. However,I have only purchased the open-toe stockings. You might want to go to Jobst's web site for a sizing chart.

They are sized correctly. If you are an I'm between size I would go down as you want maximum compression. Hope that helps

Well, it depends on what your doing and how much you sweat. I get hot and perspire. I don't think I've worn my compression thigh high and sweat really bad. I do know that water will remove that adhesive from my leg. It would also depend on what compression you wear. I wear 30 to 40. It does make me hot. Best advice. Just get it and try. Hope this helps. If you sweat a little, I se no problem.

yes, but there are different strengths of compression stockings as well. The tighter they are, the harder they will be to get this device into them. It all depends on how much strength you have and how much strength your stockings have and your own dexterity. I've bought two and pre-load them with the two socks myself and leave them for the patient, so that when the patient is ready to put on their own socks, they can do that part themselves. You can always return them if they don't work for you, right?

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 you´ll 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.

The 2XU running socks are compression socks with a compression of 30. I have had blood clots in the past & need the 30 compression. I don't know the compression rate of the recovery sock. Sorry. If you need 30 compression go with the running sock, or check with your doctor. He/she should be able to tell you.

I can't speak to the vein support but I can definitely recommend that you use the sizing chart on CW-X. Their recommendation for me was a S and while I would normally have just figured myself a medium I went by the chart. So glad I did! The tights fit perfectly (that is - tightly!) and offer great support for my knees and lower back.

Just kinda go with what size you are.I am a recent parapalegic I have to wear them every day the rest of my life.I was 6 foot 2 when I landed in chair I use a large.I think there measuring is kinda hoopla.If you are small get small,large get large.Just remember they are compression stockings.They must work right.They are very helpful,but they can also be damaging.

You might check Brightlifedirect - they have things to help put on compression socks/stockings (which they mainly sell), so maybe something like that would help. Arcoa actually makes something to help with socks, check out their site to see many products. They go under Arcmate now, it seems, particularly for such helpful gadgets.

I have varicose viens that are med to bad on the top of my right foot..a few spider viens in both legs/feet. I have invested a baby fortune in compression socks & #1 I couldn't see they did any good #2 I'm not sure I'm even stron enough to get them on #3 they always irritate my skin, they sweat, they are impractical for daily wear. The TC stockings are compression BUT you can get them on, they don't cut off circulation @ my knees, they don't sweat, they are comfortable to wear all day and they control the pain & occasional clots in the varicose viens--I LOVE THEM, I don't think of them as stylish but with pants & tennis shoes I guess no one knows or cares. Hope this helps

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.

Hi there, and yes it's a small to medium. You would need a large, reason why the small to medium would be way to tight and cut of your circulation. I would recommend a large, to where it still works and feels good at the same time. I love this compression sock, it really works. My pain in my heal has reduced allot, use to have my sock on everyday but not anymore. Hope it works for you
