Vein laser surgery in leg today. Best sleep position and comfort questions.
Plloyd2012Jan 14, 2015
I just had laser varicose vein procedure today. My left leg is wrapped with ace bandage from ankle to right above the knee. I also have thigh high compression stocking on as well. My question is which is the best way to sleep? Do I need to elevate my leg? Do I need to get up and walk during the night. The pain is awful above the knee where the stocking keeps slipping down. Just wondering the best way to sleep and also if could maybe lower the stocking down to my knee for more comfort?
