1. Should compression socks be worn above the knee?
MYTH 1 - COMPRESSION SOCKS CUT OFF CIRCULATION
The short answer is no! There is also a proper way to wear these socks. The tops of compression socks should not be rolled down or folded over. They should be put on smoothly and fit snugly, just below or above the knee.
Compression stockings can keep your legs from getting tired and achy. They can also ease swelling in your feet and ankles as well as help prevent and treat spider and varicose veins. They may even stop you from feeling light-headed or dizzy when you stand up.
3. What do compression knee socks do?
Compression socks work by promoting improved blood flow in your legs. The compression of the socks gently pushes blood flow up the leg, helping to prevent swelling and even blood clots. Many people can benefit from compression socks after surgery, during pregnancy, or as legs become an achy, swollen, or heavy feeling.
