Very uncomfortable compression garment.

January 4, 2018
Asked By:nizzb in Portland, OR

I’ll obviously call my own surgeon to get her advice but my question is how to deal with a very uncomfortable compression garment. It’s almost like it’s too small with all the swelling. Its cutting into other parts of my body like my calves because it’s just too tight. I’m going to ask my doctor if I can purchase something different that’s a little looser. Also, I’m supposed to wear this 24 hours a day except when showering, at what point can I leave it off long enough to wash it?
