Do you know what caused your stroke? I had my stroke effected right also on May 17, 2015 and don't know why. In 2017, I started having my right foot and ankle go numb or asleep and my doctor did a vein ultrasound where was found my veins want to spider had form new routes. (varicose veins) I am too young58 and can't have surgery for it because insurance says it is to look pretty so have to prove it by wearing compression socks. It helped. Now they are getting tight for me to wear and I have area around my groin that a cauterized star closer was put that hurts almost all time. Am to see dr. in two weeks about this and I am thinking I should be able to have the surgery for veins and get rid of these socks. They are a life saver for work and numbness but a pain to use.
