And how exactly is the size determined? 🙂

Give me a break! 🙂 That was way too easy. I walked past a dozen CVS locations, but I kept thinking, "Man, this stuff is pretty specialized." 😁 God forbid I actually go in and ask. 😉

Let me just push your buttons a little more: Do you even know what the prices look like around here? I need to know if I’m going to end up going broke just to help out my dear neighbor. 🙂 Is there a universal size? Or do they actually carry different compression levels?

Please, just enlighten me so I don't look like a total moron at the pharmacy after already looking like one on here. 🙂

Hey everyone 🙂

Alright, here’s the situation. My old neighbor has been struggling for years, constantly hobbling around with those elastic compression bandages because of his vein issues and the pain he deals with. He says it’s just what he has to do. But lately, the whole process of putting them on and rolling them up has become an absolute nightmare for him, so now he’s looking into switching to actual compression stockings.

I happened to be near a Simex location recently and saw they carry them. But get this—a single stocking is going to run me about $117! On top of that, they won't even sell them to you without specific specialist medical orders; everything has to be custom-made to fit perfectly, and so on and so forth. Basically, it's a massive headache.

So, my question is: is there anywhere in Washington, D.C. where I can just walk into a store, grab a pair of these things, and walk out? Ideally, I'm looking for something that won't cost a small fortune and is actually durable enough to last.

Thanks
