The resulting pooling of blood in the lower extremities can lead to swelling, achiness, fatigue, blood clots and even more serious health conditions including Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wearing a compression sock can change this situation for the better.&nbsp;<\/strong>Calf high compression socks are tightest around the ankles, gradually loosening as they reach the knees and thighs.
