So, I just got diagnosed with Stage I venous insufficiency on both legs, plus one Cockett perforator issue on my left lower leg. My doctor wants me in Class II compression calf sleeves.
I gave Sigvaris a shot, but man, they were unbearable—just crushed me and left deep marks everywhere.
Now I've switched to Ofa Bamberg. They're a bit more comfortable, though they still leave lines at the crease. Plus, I'm totally lost on sizing... my ankle is a Medium but my calf is a Large, so I’m seriously considering just getting custom ones made.
Honestly, wearing these things feels like pure torture and it's totally draining me. It's hard to focus on work or even just get through the day, and I've become so cranky lately. I've only been wearing them for a few days, so maybe I'll adjust? But I'd love to hear if anyone else has dealt with this or has any tips.
