Wearing socks can make a big difference in how your legs feel. Spider veins often cause swelling and pain, both of which can be helped by wearing the right type of socks. If you have never worn special socks before, though, you may be lost as to what exactly you should choose.
Choose socks that fit snugly. The tighter it is, the more it will compress the veins and relieve pain and discomfort. If you are of average weight, choosing a size smaller than what you should actually wear may do the trick. If you are overweight, hosiery one size smaller may not fit around the waist and thighs, so you would be better off buying compression socks.
Choose compression socks if you have a serious problem with spider veins or if regular hosiery doesn't offer enough support and relief. Compression Socks are specially formulated to relieve pain, prevent the formation of more spider veins and reduce swelling. It is usually available through specialty retailers or online.
Buying a Compression Sock is a great way to cover up your problem of Spider Veins.
Read the packaging carefully. Some companies sell latest patterned compression socks in more than one level of compression. The most common types of socks are mild compression for people who have small spider veins and want to prevent the formation of new ones, and high compression for people who have more serious problems and symptoms, like pain and swelling.
Buy socks online at specially stores. Rather than buying compression socks at your local pharmacy, look into online stores or medical stores that sell specialized items for people with medical issues. This will guarantee the quality of the item you buy and understands your specific problem.
