do i take my sock of bed just got home 30mins ago?

As above plz ladies xx

If they’re the surgical stockings you’re supposed to keep them on for 7 days i think? That’s what I was told anyway. If you’re unsure, ring the nurse hun x

hi, ive just had my surgery too and the nurse said i can take them off the next day. Just had to wear them for the night xx

If your not that mobile and resting lots, I’d leave them on. I left mine on for about 5/6 days. Once you start walking around a bit more you can take them off. I used to get up every hour or 2 and just have a walk around the house. You need to keep your circulation going hun so until your well enough to get up and down, I’d leave them on(that’s the advice the doctor gave me when I got discharged after my op) xx

I was told 3days. X

Ul find tht everyone says different cause each nurse says differnt mine told me 2weeks n then at bed time for 4weels after thatso 6week all in all. But if ur not too mobile keep them on ause it reallu does redice rosk of dvtx

I was told as soon as i got home i could take them off!!… lol so strange how everythings so diff xx
