TKR: Compression socks thigh high

Hello @lk3xs. How are you doing with your compression socks? Are they still irritating your skin? I'd like to tag @ellerbracke and @saeternes who have talked about compression socks in the "TKR: Raised toilet seat, railings, walker, wedge pillow, cyro-cuff?" discussion. I had my knee replaced in 2006, and I am trying to remember how long I wore compression socks. If my memory is serving me correctly, I don't believe it was as long as 6 weeks. I am aware, however, that every physician and surgeon has their own variations of protocols post-surgery. Have you discussed the level of pain you are experiencing with your compression socks with your surgeon?

Interesting to hear about use of compression socks, I never was prescribed those, and encouraged to wear very loose non elasticated socks. Amazing how different the protocols can be
