For those that may need compression socks I highly recommend the Jobst brand. I've worn them almost daily (on just one leg) for over a decade due to vein damage from a DVT. I've tried other cheaper brands but they don't last as long.
I prefer the 20-30 mmhg rating ones. the 30-40 can be difficult to get on and off for me at times.
here is a link that you can look up which ones you may be recommended to wear http://www.discountsurgical.com/cont...p?contentid=14
