Hi Yorkie. I've been struggling with ulcers on my lower legs over the last year and (although I don't know whether they are Juxtacare or not), I was measured for support socks rather than stockings (long story) but yes, they absolutely helped with the ulcers. I've got ribbed socks which are great to wear with trousers and also don't have the tight band around the top (which my rheumatologist is happy about).
