]]> Comment on I was told to get TED hose? What should I get? by Sam, Editor at LegSmart.com http://www.legsmart.com/blog/2010/01/i-was-told-to-get-ted-hose-what-should-i-get/comment-page-1/#comment-300 Sam, Editor at LegSmart.com Mon, 08 Aug 2011 18:22:06 +0000 http://www.legsmart.com/blog/?p=324#comment-300 Hey Sandy, I recommend to start with a 15-20 mmHg knee high sock. A lot of people wear them and are great if you're standing and sitting all day long. If you wanted something with more support, then try a 20-30 mmHg knee high. Both options are great for daily wear. Please let us know if we can help you find a specific model. You can call our customer care lines: 503-926-2308 or email us: support@legsmart.com. Sam LegSmart.com Customer Care Team Hey Sandy,

It does get tough for men to wear compression stockings in hot weather. Open toe is always a good option if you're stuck wearing a waist high. Or, if you're wearing a knee high, I would recommend cotton. Sam Hey Larry,

A 15-0 mmHg level of compression is considered a light compression (over the counter). A 20-30 mmHg is a bit stronger and recommended sometimes without a prescription. Both levels of compression would help with the swelling in the lower leg and knee. I recommend a thigh high because it gives your legs support through the knee. Please be sure to ask your doctor about an appropriate level of compression and what style of compression stocking they would like you to wear. Thank you very much for reading the blog. Let us know if there is anything else we can do for you. Call us: 503-926-2308 or email us: support@legsmart.com. Regards, Sam LegSmart.com Customer Care Team Hey Judi,
