Memory is a bit hazy but not long, maybe 4 days but I was moving around quite a lot, so I thought it wouldn’t be an issue.

@Amy that's what I thought from my past experience it wasn't as long as they said. They are just so painful cutting off my circulation x

I was told a week, they were tight but they stopped me swelling and reduced clot risk. Keep moving too to lower that further.

@Judy that's what I'm thinking I'm taking 2 blood thinning injection a day. I just know they like to be extra cautious.
I wouldn't mind wearing the stockings but the digging in is painful x

@Judy it really is I kept asking them I cried my eyes out to them and they said they were the right size. So like 1 every 12 hours is that like you? X
