I'v had the endovenous chemical ablation that's supposed to treat the edema from CVI. The brown discoloration never did go away. If I go 10 or more days with no socks the swelling in my left leg kind of comes back, so I wear the socks for cosmetic reasons and they help ensure that the edema stays quiet.
