Compression socks

Hi everyone! Had my op yesterday and the compression socks are really annoying.. How long did you all wear them for? Will it be OK to remove them if I remain active? Thanks x

They say for a week. I kept mine on for about 5 days as I wasn’t that active to be honest. I think I only lasted long cause I’m a nurse and know the risks lol xx

Hey!

I didn’t even know we had to wear them until I was out of surgery! I wore them for 6 days and then took them off before my 1 week appointment at Mya. I didn’t really do much except from walking around my house..
Try and keep them on for as long as you can. Xx

Oh my gosh, no one told me any instructions, I took them off that night as soon as I got home!
I think it’s essential to wear them whilst you’re not very mobile, i.e. in bed, but you should be walking around and stuff the next day, so I figured it was ok.
I had 2 Caesarians and then was only told I needed them whilst in hospital. Xx

I was told to keep them on for 5 days I can’t bare my feet being overly hot especially in bed it was torched having them burn I took them off yesterday as I went to town. I had my op Monday so I had them in 4 days I’d defo recommend having them on as long as you can xx

Thanks ladies! X

I kept mine on overnight after surgery but took them off them off the next afternoon as i never really sat down at all after that, i was more mobile than i would normaly be as i found i coped better with the pain on my feet, kept them on for 3 days after c-section but was in a wheelchair so obviously needed to xxx
