Sexy Post-op socks........how long did you have to keep them on for??

[Meggie]

Just wondering as I wasn't told!!!

 

[galm37]

I was advised two weeks. But they litterally lasted two minutes after I got home

They were awful and digging into my legs

When I went to the hospital on Friday they said 2 weeks. Hope you are ok.

I was told 4 weeks and finally got to take them off on Saturday - It was heaven as they kept dropping down all the time, driving me mad !!

Mine were taken off in hospital about 24 hours post op.

 

[Mixman]

4 weeks for me! I felt great with them on..................

Seek medical advice! Everyone's case is different

The letter given to me on discharge said 6 weeks, but I got time off for good behaviour and only did two weeks. They are a pain but they are there for good reason, so I only removed them when I was really mobile. HTH

 

[gaelic girl]

I didn't get them either!! I was stuck with two weeks of injections instead.

Hiya, I was told to keep mine on for 10 days, but it may differ depending on what procedure you have and how long your recovery period is expected to be.

I actually missed my last 4 injections. I was having huge panic attacks everytime it came to have my injection after the first few days. I tried skin numbing cream as well but I was still having panic attacks and was in tears everytime mum injected me (it wasn't that painful, just the fear and the thought of it). I gave up for the last 4 injections, couldn't cope. Yet I have tattoos and piercings, bizarre eh?

10 x days for me too! I found an easy way of getting these bliters on by putting a sandwich bag over my foot first then they pull on with ease. You then pull the sandwich bag through the little hole just under your toes. Gail x

[dottychic]

Urgh ... I had these years ago when I had a clot in my leg, they are horrible, uncomfortable, itchy MINGIN things lol.. my mate said they looked like "laying out stockings" x

I don't like all this injection and socks talk....haven't been told ANYTHING about what happens after - very weird.

I'd just advise to give Kirsten a call Meggie x
