Compression Sock
I can’t remember who recommended it but at 5 weeks I started wearing 2Xu compression socks and I believe it’s been helpful. The foot swelling obviously went way down and the ROM was easier to manage. I’d recommend it but talk to your doctor. I’m at about 80% PWB and seeing the doctor on Friday…hoping for a green light for FWB. Hang in there everyone…and check out the compression sock idea.

Good find.
I used the varicose-vein/diabetic/anti-embolism stockings that come in flattering beige and off-white shades, your grandma can probably tell you where to get them at the best price (which won’t be the places selling them for use to prevent in-flight DVT).
On the other hand, the 2XU ones are very flash and let you feel more like an extreme athlete. Probably better for the self-esteem and no doubt they last longer as well.
