Hi yes I wear these stockings are you having problems with them ?

[limpy in reply to misslc]

No I loved them unfortunatly they are no longer available

[ameliaindi in reply to limpy]

They just changed the name to mediven for men

I used to wear Mediven arm sleeves with gauntlet and I had a fair bit of trouble with irritation of thumb web. I now wear a Jobst arm sleeve with a full Sigvaris glove and have no trouble.

If you are having problems see your lymhoedema nurse/physio or whoever provides you with the stockings as some are definitely more comfortable than others.

good luck!

As far as I am aware the Medi Active range are still available on prescription, as well as the plus and elegance range.

Try asking for Mediven for Men instead of Mediven Active as the name has been changed

[ameliaindi]

Yes, they're definitely called mediven for men these days. medi have a website too (mediuk.co.uk)
