Hi Joni,
Thank you for your comment. The TEDS you were told to get are about a 12-16 compression and are made for people who are in bed. Once a patient is up moving around, a gradient compression garment is needed. TEDS come in all lengths, knee high, thigh high as well as waist high. For your diagnosis, I would recommend you stare with a mild medical compression which is 15-20 mmHg compression. A knee high garment would not be effective. A thigh high or waist high garment is appropriate. Try the 15-20 mmHg compression to start (this would be the equivalent of the TEDS). If this is not adequate, then a 20-30 may be more appropriate. Remember, your physician should always be consulted.

Hi April,
Depends on where the hole is located. First a tiny bit of clear nail polish. Yes, the old stand by. Then if it is somewhere unnoticable a little stretch stitch to close the hole might be good.

Vanda I have brand new 30/40 Mediven panty hose and while I was adjusting them I put my finger through. Is there some techniqe for darning or repairing them? I don’t want it to get any worse, so I quit wearing them. I have other ones, that also developed runs, these are new and are the best fitting.
I have a small fortune invested in compression hose and am trying my best to be conservitive. REPAIR & RECYCLE is the new slogan at our house!
Thank You! Sincerely April

While we are not experts in this field, the best way to loose weight is under a physicians supervision. It should be a change of life style not a diet. Only in that manner can you maintain the weight loss.
