My legs swell up so much by evening and someone suggested compression socks. Bought a pair but ab confused, do I wear them whole day or only few hours? Should I take off at night? share if u use them.
My amma used to say that any kind of swelling needs attention. Compression socks are good for the legs and feet, especially if you stand a lot. You can wear them from morning and take them off at night before you sleep. But if the swelling is too much or painful, then please, always check with your doctor, don't just rely on socks alone.
Compression socks are great for circulation and preventing swelling, especially if you're prone to it, like many women with PCOS can be. Generally, you wear them during the day and take them off before bed. But if you have any specific circulatory issues or discomfort, please talk to your doctor. They can recommend the right type and duration for you, it's always best to be cautious.
Oh, I was just wondering about this! I'm in my second trimester and my feet are already starting to feel a bit heavy sometimes. Do you wear them from morning till night? And do they really help? I'm a bit anxious about swelling getting worse later on, like if I should start them now.
I wore compression socks religiously, especially with gestational diabetes, because it's important to keep circulation good. My doc advised me to put them on first thing in the morning before swelling starts, and keep them on throughout the day, removing them before sleeping. They really helped manage the discomfort and keep my legs feeling better.
Compression socks can be a real lifesaver for swollen feet and ankles during pregnancy! I wore mine mostly in the third trimester, especially if I was on my feet a lot. You can wear them all day, just take them off at night before sleeping. They really do help with circulation and make a big difference.
