Oh gosh! I HATED them! Mine were so tight, but luckily I had a friend who had some larger sox. I mean you've got to take the doctor's advice - they are to stop dvts. May the bigger ted be with you!

Hi, yes I remember the Ted socks well! I was allowed to take them off during the day after the first week, because my knee was swelling above them. I still had to wear them at night though, and it was August, and hot! I stopped after 4 weeks. I'm in the UK, so no injections, blood thinning meds instead (dabigatran), so a bit easier. Good luck!

Hi I only worn my reds for 2 nights after I came home from hospital. Like you. I could t sleep. I don't think they matter much as long as you are active a lot during the day and having the injections.
Best of luck.

TED socks are a form of medical torture . I was told to take them off after 6 weeks, and not a day before.
