Being a retired nurse and on my feet a lot, ai have worn compression panty hose for mane years. I now wear compression knee highs on a daily basis because varicose coins run in my family, they also prevent the edema in one leg that I have had for a number of years (MS,?, maybe)

Thank you!

Hello @A MyMSTeam Member. I've been using compression socks for several months now and have found that my feet no longer hurt when I go to bed. And my ankles no longer look swollen. The usual advice is to wear them during the day and I'm still working out how many hours I need to wear them. It could be seven hours a day or possibly less, but that's just for me so I can't advise on that. I bought, I think, 15 strength socks and that's strong enough for me. So that's another thing each person has to find out for herself/himself. They come in a lot of cute designs and I enjoy decided which design I'll wear today. Good luck!😀

Thank you! Do you use the 20-30 weight (I'm guessing here.) Or how do I distinguish which "size" to get?

Ive had MS for 23 years and have been in a wheelchair for 11years, been wearing compression socks for about 6months and they brillant, my feet are no longer purple, definately would get them you’ll feel better.
