I wear knee high compression stockings. They're tight, hot and ugly but they really do help. I just started wearing them in July after my diagnosis. I don't wear them all the time (not with shorts or capris) but I do wear them under long pants, especially around the house, when I want to walk or stand for longer periods of time, and to work. Try them. They really do make a difference. I like the toeless ones. RobinBZ
