When Does One Usually Wear Compression Stockings After Surgery?
I was told to wear compression stockings after surgery placing 3 pins in the bone just below my hip joint. The home health nurse said to either wear them at night and take them off in the mornings or just the opposite; she wasn t sure she had it correct; Wear at night or wear in the day time? Surgery was 9 days ago.
Hi you are not sure when to wear compression stockings , Compression stockings are used to prevent swelling when walking. I would recommend that you wear compression stockings during day time , put them on in the morning and take them off at night.
