Compression stockings or not

Define what you mean by compression hoisery?

We have DVT socks which are used post surgery for prevention of DVT. It has a degree of compression

We have compression hoisery which is used after a patient has been in compression bandaging for the treatment of lower leg ulcers. The risk of reoccurence without is around 65% without the hoisery

This is what I wear to work. I love them!!

Hello, I have many people say that they wear compression stockings or socks and others that don't use. Do any of y'all use any? If yes, which would you recommend.

If you mean for me (and not the patient) I wear them every time I put on scrubs. My legs feel so much better with them!! I buy the futuro brand from amazon. Hand wash them and they last a while.

They make my legs feel a lot happier well into those long shifts - I'm all for them.

Yes!!! I never leave home without them!

I just wear knee high socks, they are snug enough and cheaper. Maybe I'll look into the real ones though.

Thank you everyone!! Then I will definitely look into them now!! Now to look for shoes!

As for shoes, I would definitely recommend Danskos!!

sigvargis, love them

These socks are awesome! When I first ordered mine about a year ago, they didn't have an XL in women's, so I bought a L. The website says if you're b/t sizes then order the smaller size. I wear a 9 1/2 -10 and the L is too small by the end of shift (my toes feel crammed) I'm going to order the XL now they're in stock!!

Yes! I don't notice a huge difference on how my legs feel during the day but when I'm trying to sleep after my shift they don't ache as much! I picked up some diabetic compression socks at Walmart for very reasonable price $10-15? Worth every penny! I also use them for international travel to help with with swelling. Great investment for me.

I was coming home every morning and having to lay on my back with my feet in the air, massaging lotion into my lower legs to make them stop aching. I bought some compression socks from a vendor at a Christmas show a couple weeks ago and it's made a huge difference! I appreciate all the brand suggestions here. :)
