Twenty-five percent of nurses reported having varicose vein in their lower extremity
From a survey of 2000 nurses from two medical centers and two regional hospitals in Taiwan, regarding the perceived occupational hazardous elements in the work environment, a needle stick was rated the highest (92%), followed by prolonged standing (74%).

Workers general comfort was also improved with less leg aching, tightness, heaviness and tiredness.  Neck & shoulder and lower back discomfort plus overall fatigue were also improved.  In the short term, these stockings can prevent leg fluid accumulation, improve how the legs feel and general body discomfort & fatigue, making standing for prolonged periods a little more bearable.
