    Hello everyone,

    Just a quick question. On the day of your operation you get given a pair of these socks that you have to wear. How many days do you have to keep these socks on after your operation?

    Hi Rael, between 5 & 7 days or until you are mobilising as normal as for some people it takes slightly longer than 7 days x

    There to stop you getting a blood clot, like the girlies said it depends how mobile you are and healthy as the more mobile you are post surgery the less likely you are to develop a blood clot 🙂 xx

    I’m case ur unsure just get hold of a nurse to check ur notes. I wore mine but was at risk of a blood clot prior to surgery anyway and nearly got one 7days post op which was mega scary I had to see my surgeon and get special medication to stop it fxx
