[QUOTE="crazymama30, post: 426635, member: 3184"] The degree of compression is what helps the stockings to work. It is meausured in mmhg. 20-30 is pretty light, and 30 40 is really pretty tight. They should be really hard to get on. They are doing something Shari, you just may not realize it if you are wearing them every day. If your swelling is just in your lower leg you may only need the knee high stockings. Keep doing the massage, and usually the Occupational Therapist (OT) will do some too and sometimes use special wraps. [/QUOTE]
