What should I do? http://www.legsmart.com/blog/2010/01/knee-compression-stockings-bind-below-my-knee/ http://www.legsmart.com/blog/2010/01/knee-compression-stockings-bind-below-my-knee/#comments Wed, 06 Jan 2010 23:25:45 +0000 Sam http://www.legsmart.com/blog/?p=338 For some people, knee high compression stockings leave a mark below their knee. This is due to several reasons. Everyone has a different leg, and some people have soft skin below their knee and compression stockings will leave a mark in soft skin. If there is too much swelling near the knee, a knee high compression stocking might not be adequate to address the swelling in that area and thus will leave a mark. This is an indication for you to check your sizing. If you have the right size on, but have swelling on or above the knee, you may want to consider wearing a thigh high compression stocking. Marks below the knee can also be a result of wearing knee high compression stockings that have a level of compression that is too strong. In that case, you may want to consider wearing a lighter level of compression. Usually people who wear 30-40 mmHg knee highs experience this.
