I have worn compression knee highs in the past.They keep fluid from pooling in your feet and lower legs.Until you get accustomed to putting them on they are a pain.There is a metal frame that can be used to get them on but I never used one.

After losing some weight and no longer standing on my legs working I stopped wearing them.I wore them with my midi and longer skirts also.They were warmer than regular hosiery.

They usually recommend them for heart failure patients because they prevent fluid backing up around your hear or pooling in the lungs.

Purpose of tracking weight is to know about water retention.If needed water pills are needed.Like Lasix.

I would rather elevate my legs throughout the day than wear the compression hose.One of my sisters orders them online and has all colors and patterns of compression knee highs.
