No: Good to try for few months. If doesn't work your doctor will discuss other options. Many insurance carriers require a trial of compression hose.

Probably not...: Entirely. Although very tight, hard to put on, sometimes hard to take off, always hot in the summertime, and people often really don't like them, most will say, in all honesty, that they make their legs feel better despite everything.
