I’ve been researching compression socks for MS because I’m considering getting a pair and want to find something that’s comfortable for regular use. I’m mainly looking for something comfortable, easy to wear, and suitable for everyday use. After looking at different options and comparing a few styles, I found these two that I really liked:[FITRELL 3 Pairs Compression Socks for Women and Men[CHARMKING Compression Socks for Women & Men[Compression Socks for Men Women Ankle Running Socks for Plantar Fasciitis[Both options look good to me overall, which is actually making the decision harder. I’m trying to figure out which one would be the better choice for regular use and whether there’s anything specific. Has anyone here tried either of these? Which one would you choose, and what has your been with similar compression socks?

If like me, you have lymphoedema as a result of deconditioning and lower level of exercise, then you need to go to your GP who will refer you to specialists. They will diagnose you properly and if required, get you properly measured for socks / stockings / neoprene wraps / boots, on prescription on the NHS.
Ideally, you will be sent to the vascular ultrasound dept. at your nearby hospital and they will perform a “lower limb veins doppler ultrasound” to determine your circulation and level of compression required.
Buying off-the-shelf is hit or miss, don’t do it.
