Thread: Medical Compression Sleeves & Socks.

Hey Guys,

Most know that recently I had a knee replacement. I'm doing good & have a great physical therapist.
She has been on me about getting a compression stocking/sleeve for my leg to help with the swelling she see's. I have been putting it off thinking that it is more a confidence thing.

Yesterday was a meeting with my surgeon. He said get more range out of the leg or I will put you back on the table, back under & bend it himself. So I told my therapist & I went to a medical store to look at compression sleeve to help with the swelling & circulation.

The salesman showed me a stocking that looked like something my grandmother would wear. I said h*ll no, I'd rather go back to the table.

I then went to Dick's Sporting Goods & looked at the sports compression sleeves that they had. I chose the ones below. I wore them around the house for 5 hours. The first hour there was not much to notice, but as time went by the compression sleeve made a big difference. I felt better in my leg, it had noticeably more range of motion. There was no discomfort in these sleeves & I did not sweat in them.

These are stock photos from the internet.
I will be using them everyday now.

Just thought I'd tell you,,,,,,,,,,,
