Varicose vein stockings, also known as compression stockings, are often worn to provide relief of varicose vein symptoms.
They are available in a variety of styles, colors and sizes.
What Are Varicose Veins
Varicose veins are the dark purple or blue “lines” appearing on the legs and are actually visible swollen, enlarged and twisted veins.
These varicose veins develop when the valves in the legs fail to pump blood efficiently up towards the heart.
The result is blood pooling around the ankles, which oftentimes causes swelling, painful leg cramps, itching sensations and the feeling of heaviness in the legs.
