Hi,
For vein insufficiency wearing elastic socks can improve symptoms. You should wear them before you go out of bed in mornings and take them of in bed at night. Don't take them of before going to bed because blood will still pool down in legs.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
