IDreamInColor Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 Hubby mentioned running to the store to find me some compression stockings. I have no idea what they look like, how they are sized, or what size I should get, or even if this is something that would help? Anyone?

potsgirl Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 The best compression stockings would probably be something that your doctor could prescribe for you, and then insurance would be likely to pay for them. You would take your prescription into a medical supply store, and they would fit you so that you have the appropriate size. Your doctor would hopefully also tell you the strength (compression) to get, or you can ask the people at the supply store. From reading the forum and from my own experience, the best ones are either thigh-high or waist high.You can find knee-high ones at your local pharmacy, and they work well for some people, but I know that the waist-high ones work the best for me. If you can get a prescription for them, you'll save quite a bit of money. Medicare covered all of the cost for two pairs for me, and the total was around $250. Let me know if you have more questions...Cheers, Jana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
