Can I make my own compression socks?
Can I make my own compression socks? You can save hundreds, if not thousands of dollars by making your own Compression Stockings. Simply purchase Stretch Jeans at a Thrift Store. Measure your leg from the ankle up to just below the knee. Measure the Jeans from the bottom hem up and cut the leg off.
What happens if you wear the wrong compression socks?
Although very rare, if worn incorrectly, compression stockings have the potential to cause blood clots rather than reduce their likelihood. Compression stockings are meant to increase blood circulation but, if worn too tightly, they can do the opposite.
