Mens Compression Socks 20-30mmHg help with Varicose Veins - Black, X-Large

I have fluid pool up in my lower legs (ankles %26 feet) more so in the left than the right. My doctor ordered a diuretic pill, frequent elevation of the legs, and wearing stockings with a compression of 20-30 mm Hg. After much browsing on the internet I found this product. I had to measure my ankle and calf circumference and find a size that nearly corresponds to my measurements. When I tried them on the first time, I realized they were hard to put on. But with perseverance I was able to put them on so the stocking snugly with a little pressure squeezes my lower legs. The size I chose was "LARGE" and it fitted closely my feet and heels. The stockings go over my knees and lower thighs, so I just fold them over so that they run up to just under the bend of the knee. With these stockings and other things I mentioned earlier, the edema or swelling is almost gone. Now the puffines of my feet is gone and I could easily put on my shoes. My doctor said I have to wear these when I am up and standing or walking because of vascular insufficiency, impaired ability of the veins to bring the blood back up to my heart. When one is up the fluid pools up in the lower leg because of gravity.

I have reviewed the same stocking with a tan color. Very good except for this white stocking does show the black stains picked up from being in a shoe. My later orders were for gray.
