can socks cause legs to swell

I'd contact the physician who prescribed them and have him/her make a recommendation. Compression hose do come in various sizes (small to XX large). 3 years ago by Vein Clinic of North Carolina Your compression socks should not make your legs hurt worse or cause more swelling.
