I had knee surgery, and was wondering when can I stop wearing my compression socks?
Compression and knee surgery...
Your doctor has you doing all of the right things. Walking, compression, and anticoagulation (taking blood thinners) are the proven modalities to limit developing blo...Detailsod clots after knee surgery.
If you are having no pain or swelling and are walking well, it is probably ok to discontinue wearing compression. I think it is wonderful that you have been so compliant, but before discontinuing this care, please call your doctor to assess his or her preferences. Your doctor should know your risk and advise you accordingly.
Good luck
