Plus Size Compression Thigh Highs for Men and Women 20-30mmHg - Beige, 5XL

The edema in my legs came from a steroid prescription and I am recovering from the gaining of 20 pounds of water in 5 days. Surprise!!! So I've bought 4X's, 3X's, and 2X's. The 2X's were strangling my ankles while the thigh part was falling down. So my legs are recovering unevenly next to the design of these stockings. But they have done what I needed, which is to give me back working legs. I bought the 3X's in black so I could tell the difference.

I have leg edema from an over prescribed Rx of Pr*dn*sone. I have bought these Thigh high support hose in 4X, 3X %26 2X, as my legs went down in size. Then lately I ate some salty restaurant food and needed 4X's again. Don't DOOO that! Anyway these are not too strong like the expensive ($80) stockings from the pharmacy. I can wear them 24 hours a day without them strangling me. They don't wear out. The pressure is less after the first washing. I like owning 3 pairs of my today size, so I can wash them and I can put on a pair immediately after bathing.
