    I wasn’t with Mya. But I was just advised to keep them on until I was fully mobile again. I was moving around from day 1 and going for short walks so I only kept them on for about 4 or 5 days, mainly coz I was paranoid about dvt! If you’re up and moving every hour or so and not bed bound you shouldn’t need them for more than a few days. I’d go with what your nurse told you x
