compression stockings

Hi, does anyone know how long you have to keep the stockings on for? Im 5dpo, and I’m finding them so uncomfortable there making my legs really itch, I think there too tight.

Hi Sophie, my nurse told me they recommend no longer than 5 days but you need to make sure you’re moving about and keeping the blood flowing. So as long as you’re not sitting or lying down all the time you’re fine to take them off xxx

I only had to keep mine on for 2 days. I’m up and moving around a lot more now (1 week post op) so I think they’re only needed when you’re not moving so much x

Thank goodness for that!… there off!? xx
