[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 73552, member: 439"] My dad also had to wear Jobst custom made ones, he had the major veins repaired/replaced in his right leg and was on coumadin for clots. He would put the stocking on BEFORE he got up in the morning - he hung it over his bedpost at night. He took a shower in the evening, right before bed, so that he could wear the stocking from the minute he got up in the morning - other wise his foot and leg would swell and he couldn't get it on. What the stocking is doing is helping keep the blood circulating UPWARD in your leg, and not letting it pool in your foot and ankle. [/QUOTE]
