it cannot be healthy, can it? so grateful that my surgeon doesn't consider them necessary - just jabbing the Fragmin in belly for 6 weeks ...
I think that when it feels so tight, painful, swollen etc. I would take them off -
I am not helping here am I?
I hope it cools down soon
cool hug

Greetings - and hopes England can CAN at rugby tonight against Australia.
Nice for us, but no help for you if so!
as you know from previous missives, TEDS are NOT universally the norm, indeed by hospital is very anti. So, if you've been in them for a few weeks, the first weeks are its true most risky to DVT yes, maybe an informed decision to remove. Maybe?
good luck whatever - hugsssss

My 1st physio session said , off the record, that I could remove them because I am moving around so much more so the risk of DVT is greatly reduced.
Best wishes,
Mark

I'm 15 days post op and kicked the Teds a couple of days ago. I'm taking 3 low dose aspirin (Cartia) each dayday. I'm not good at getting my exercises done but am happy with my progress.

Like Kikeena I stopped wering the TEDs after about 2 weeks and even then I had only been wearing them at night for about 5 nights before I stopped altogether. They were so uncomfortable that I reckoned that when I was moving during the day I was keeping the circulation going anyway. I was also on blood thinner tablets for 5 weeks. I know some people would consider this a gamble but also I know that some surgeons don't consider them necessary at all. I found it such a relief and my poor husband was also pleased as he hated having to help me with them as he was always frightened that he was going to jar my hip as he tugged them up!

I did have the blood thinner shot in the stomach for about 3 weeks.
