Yes, this management is ok <strong>as long as the compression stocking is containing your swelling</strong>. It is a non-invasive way to reach your goal of no swelling. You should definitely wear stockings all the time and remove at bedtime. Above all else, you should wear compression stockings when you fly and get up and walk at least once an hour to help prevent DVT. You should also make sure your physician is aware of the swelling you are experiencing. Hi Sue, Thanks for asking this question.
