I have vericose veins - does this leg sleeve provide you with 20-30 mmHg of compression?

If one has varicose veins, a doctor's prescription for support docks is advisable. A friend of my loves them, my experience with them wasn't great- had to return them. Your physician will tell you what compression is needed in your situation Andorra often than not, Amazon will have them, or your local medical supplier. Hope this helps.

Yes, I just had a problem with the ankles; I found that were a little too tight.

The product doesn't list compression values so your best bet is to check with your doctor. You may need to have them custom made by a medical supply company and your insurance may pay for them. One company I'm familiar with is Jobst.

This info is from www.docortho .com PRESSURE DESCRIPTION INDICATIONS Less than 15 mm Hg Light Support Preventative support Relief from long periods of standing or sitting Relief from tired, aching legs Mild ankle and foot swelling Mild spider and varicose veins Muscle cramps 15-20 mm Hg Light Support Moderate Support Preventative support Relief from long periods of standing or sitting Relief from chronic tired, aching legs Mild ankle and foot swelling Mild varicosities without edema Muscle cramps 20 - 30 mm Hg Moderate Support Relief of heaviness and fatigued legs Relief from chronic aching legs; ankle and foot swelling Relief from varicosities without significant edema Post Sclerotherapy The lower compression ranges (less than 20 mm Hg) are preventative and can be worn by anyone wanting healthy, great feeling and looking legs. Today incredibly sheer, lightweight and fashionable products are available in the lower compressions. These preventative products can have dramatic benefits to individuals who stand or sit for long periods of time or have any risk factors, making them predisposed to venous disorders. One potentially at-risk group are frequent air travelers, especially those passengers on long flights in coach class seating. Ladies and men socks are now available to accommodate this group. Since the stocking purpose is to increase circulation in your legs, I would think they would help with legs aches and cramps

It may help. It's slight pressure, not firm, so you may find sleeves with more compression to be of greater help. I have a similar forearm issue and alternate between this sleeve to wear on "good" days and a thicker, tighter one when my arm is hurting.

Yes, there are compression tubes. This is a very, comfortable and functional product!

I have no clue what mmhg stands for. What I know is my calf measures 16.25" and these compression socks doesnt compress much, so I still use my wrap bandages to get the compression I want.

Well, it depends on what your doing and how much you sweat. I get hot and perspire. I don't think I've worn my compression thigh high and sweat really bad. I do know that water will remove that adhesive from my leg. It would also depend on what compression you wear. I wear 30 to 40. It does make me hot. Best advice. Just get it and try. Hope this helps. If you sweat a little, I se no problem.

It calls for the Large/XLarge, but if you have a very thin calf, I would recommend you look into the Sockwell Men's Elevation Compression sock, they are 20-30mmHg in compression where the Circulator's are 15-20mmHg. Hope this helps.

My legs swelled a lot. The stockings gave support so the swelling was less.

I have both, and I prefer the ultra. The regular barely feels like any compression. It's much more comfortable, but it doesn't make a big difference for me. I should mention I use them primarily because I have low blood pressure, instead of solely athletic reasons. The Ultra makes a big difference, and the regular maybe makes a slight difference, but really just feels like I'm wearing snug leg warmers. I agree with the first reviewer though, the top band of the ultra does bind.

Hello-Thank you for your question. Before I answer your question please let me recommend a different machine to you. Please see the link below:Gradient Sequential Compression Therapy - Full Leg Complete SetWe do not recommend to you the Doctor Life LX7 pump. Unfortunately, it has had many problems. As for the sleeve size, a regular size sleeve will be find to use. Thank you,Cristina

I have varicose viens that are med to bad on the top of my right foot..a few spider viens in both legs/feet. I have invested a baby fortune in compression socks & #1 I couldn't see they did any good #2 I'm not sure I'm even stron enough to get them on #3 they always irritate my skin, they sweat, they are impractical for daily wear. The TC stockings are compression BUT you can get them on, they don't cut off circulation @ my knees, they don't sweat, they are comfortable to wear all day and they control the pain & occasional clots in the varicose viens--I LOVE THEM, I don't think of them as stylish but with pants & tennis shoes I guess no one knows or cares. Hope this helps

I don't believe the sleeve mechanism on this support is intended for compression. This sleeve component is really only used to support and stabilize the shoulder. I recommend using the compression sleeve if you require muscle support, while this shoulder support provide the ortho/ shoulder stability.

It's more compression in that it's snug fitting (to show off that Under Armour body!) It is not compression like compression shorts or cycling shorts. I wouldn't be surprised if UA offers a line of apparel like what you're looking for, but the Heatgear line probably won't do what you're wanting.

Don, we were not able to use this device with compression stockings, even the 15. We returned the item. Instead, I cut about a one inch slit on each side (right and left of the knee) of the sock, gather it up stretching as I go down the sock and pull as hard as I can as I put the sock on my husband, and then gradually pull up, smoothing out any wrinkles. We have tried for over 3 years to find a sock aid that would allow him to put on his own socks and so far, we have been unsuccessful. I wish I had better news, but that is the truth. Lyn C

I can't speak to the vein support but I can definitely recommend that you use the sizing chart on CW-X. Their recommendation for me was a S and while I would normally have just figured myself a medium I went by the chart. So glad I did! The tights fit perfectly (that is - tightly!) and offer great support for my knees and lower back.

I Wear size 15b shoe, and that corresponds to the XL size. The 20/30 is the compression, and that depends on your circulation. You could go to a Medical Supply store and buy one pair and have them determine the size.

I have 2 compression tubes on my knee strap. I have IT Band syndrome and it does help, but than my single one helps also.
