Thanks for the good information. I never seen compression socks with a zipper. Will do a search. Yes, my Doctor sent me to a Vascular Doctor and they are doing tests in November. My Orthopedic Doctor is requesting an approval before he does the first knee in February.

Here's an example of the zippered compression socks listed on Amazon.com. There are a lot and various prices. You just need to find your compression rating and size. For me they were less than half the price of my first two pairs from Mayo Clinic. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08272J4MB/

I have used the zippered compression socks as well after both my TKRs, bit I don't have lymphedema. I would check the details and share with your Dr to make sure they provide adequate compression. They are so much easier to get on, and they also come with no toe, making them even easier.

The socks should also be good for your lymphedema. But again, please check the pressure they provide and clear them with your medical team.

All the best to you Rose!
