yenta. you should go to a medical supply house and have one of their specialists fit you properly. Compression hose come in different strengths – I believe measured in mm of hg, like blood pressure. You may require a script from your doctor. Perhaps you may wish to start with a good quality support hose that may be purchased in department stores and some pharmacies. I just checked the package of the compression hose that I wore after I broke my hips and after my hip replacements. The original script was given to me by the ortho surgeon and they are 20-30 mmHg.
