I had been having problems with my legs feeling heavy and my feet going numb. I was unable to walk more than 20 feet without my feet going numb. After various tests were done for nerves, blood flow, etc., I was diagnosed with venous insufficiency in both legs. I, too, had problems finding compression stockings that worked for me. After trying many brands/types, I found a brand that are easier to put on, relatively comfortable and work really, really well. The brand name is "Skineez". You might want to try them. I originally found them at Walmart but have also purchased them on Amazon. They are probably available at pharmacies, as well.

BTW, part of the numbness issues had to do with my feet. As it turns out, I needed to be fitted for custom orthotics in my shoes.

I wish you well.
