I use the socks... they are a God send!! I use the ankle high and they have helped with swelling and pain. Some mornings I wakeup with such pain in my ankles that I fear they may break when I walk. Compression socks and always wearing shoes help tremendously. Hard for a country girl who is normally barefoot but I'm getting accustomed to it!!

When putting on compression stockings, put a little of baby powder on skin and stockings will slide. 😊😊

When I worked at the hospital. I had to put compression stockings( knee high and thigh) even then they are so hard to put on the patients. Imagine that. Lol πŸ’•

Okay. I just went to Amazon and ordered compression socks. I had not been convinced that they would help but will give them a try. Thank you all.
