motherhood maternity may have some good support hose. i'd check there, any other maternity shop or medical supply store. your doctor may also be able to prescribe some like what i have. they go from just above my knee to my toes but not over my toes.
also if you are sitting alot, try putting a foot stool or small box on the ground and resting your feet like that . it will reduce the pressure somewhat.
hope you feel better soon =)
