Ted hose

[moniquea 15]

Hi I'm 5days out and was wondering any tricks with the ted hose and how long I have to wear them in a day cause both calfs are getting irritated and soar from the tightness. In the hospital I had 3blood thinner shots and they had my legs hooked to the pump messager.

Ask your surgeon. It all depends on your particular case.

i've been in the hospital many times over the years

primarily orthopedic issues

i always had to wear the teddies at the hospital

but...........i only spent one night with the sleeve

NO teddies for me!!!

irritation, soreness - tightness

yeach!!!

call your doc - he should tell you how much longer to wear

hope other things are going along well

good luck

The more you are up and moving around, the less important they are. And no matter what your surgeon says, they aren't proven to prevent blood clots anyhow.

I only had to wear my teds for the first two nights. As long as you are up and moving they should be fine to remove. Of course if you have a history of DVT or have been advised my your doctor to wear them for a loner period then follow their orders.
