I am flying back to the US soon, so I think I'll ask the ol' doc for a pair, it can't do any harm !

I wear a compression stocklng on one leg during the day, but when I go to bed, I cannot stand the feeling of it on my leg and have to take it off.

What works for one does not always work for the next person, so all you can do is try it. Just make sure they are not too tight and cut off your circulation. ;) I, personally, am not helped by them at all. I hate anything tight on my legs, but good for flying if your legs tend to swell up. Google" Restless Legs Syndrome compression stockings". YOu will get all kinds of info, and please do look up the address rlshelp.org, and go to the treatment page. ;)

I find that any sort of constriction on my legs makes them worse - including pop socks up to the knee!

I always use compression stocking on long car journeys as driver or passenger and on flights. I would not be able b to complete the journey without them. I also make sure to have several breaks on car journeys and walk around on flights.
