Today, the widest use of compression stockings is post treatment for serious vein disease and surgery. Post treatment compression decreases pain, swelling, inflammation, and phlebitis. But long after surgery, compression products can have a positive effect, and no one needs to know you are wearing them. Here’s one blogger who tried compression four years after surgery to help combat ongoing pain.

I think that this story is a clear example of how useful and important compression stockings can be to improve quality of life. It’s good that an increasing number of scientific research is done to obtain a further understanding of their working. I’ve personally experienced on how good compression stockings help me to get through long (several hours) of trail running. My muscles feel much better during exercise and also recover significantly faster. I hope my experience is useful to other people.
Thanks for the link–this is a great start! I’ve been using compression stockings for several years and have stuck with the same brand. I’d like to try other brands and styles but with the relatively high cost of these products, I don’t want to make a mistake. I’d love to see more reviews, and details on real-life fit and use.
Some great information, thanks!
I have been wearing 30-40mmHg thigh high compression stockings since 1994. Since the Mediven Elegance line is now no longer available, I thought I would try the Mediven Sheer and Soft product. Unfortunately, they do not come in a thigh garter style and I am allergic to the silicone band so I went for the pantyhose style.
When I received my first pair of Sheer and Soft pantyhose, I thought that they looked far too sheer to be any good. However yesterday, I had to stand in a line up for 4-3/4 hours in order to get my h1n1 flu shot. At the end of that time, my legs and feet were in agony; I was wearing another older kind of stocking. Today, I put on the new Sheer and Soft pantyhose having just received them the previous day. After 1/2 hour, all of the pain in my legs that had kept me up all night disappeared and my feet became very warm. My previous experience with trying pantyhose was that the waistband would cut in and the sheer kind of product did not have enough stretch thus causing the foot part to feel too small, also, they would slide down during the day. The Sheer and Soft product is very comfortable to wear and the waistband as well as the fitting all over the garment is very good indeed. I feel very confident that they will look after my circulation problems. I did notice that they are more difficult to put on and take off than the Elegance line of product; even though I used the high grip type of rubber gloves; especially over the heel. Some people may need to buy a donner to get them on and off. Hand washing should be easier as the material is not as bulky being so sheer.
I hope this info is helpful, especially for the men who must wear these things.
Thanks for putting this up. I searched on how to make watch good comments and after not getting much I found this which I learned about how a profile can make an impression.
