• How many hours should I wear compression stockings?
  You should wear your compression stockings during the day and take them off before going to bed. Put them on again first thing in the morning.

• Is it OK to sleep in compression socks?
  It's OK to sleep in your compression socks. You can even wear compression socks 24 hours a day if you like. You just shouldn't wear the same compression socks 24 hours a day, day after day, night after night.
• When should you not wear compression stockings?
  If you have peripheral vascular disease affecting your lower extremities, you should not wear compression socks.
• Can you wear compression stockings on just one leg?
  You can wear compression socks on just one leg or both legs, and you can put them on and take them off just like regular socks or stockings. Don't fold your compression socks down to form cuffs, and make sure the seams go straight up your leg.
