Standard Shoulder Replacement Pressure socks?

[Ursula72]

Hello, after my Reverse total shoulder replacement do I have to wear pressure socks as I had to after my hip replacement,I also had to take blood thinners? My neighbours mother after her hip replacement had to inject herself instead of those pesky pressure socks. I think I’d sooner go for the injections. ( I’m so glad I have got back on Bone Smart xx

@Ursula72 I did not have to wear the pressure socks after my shoulder replacements nor did I have to take any kind of blood thinners. Don't know how things are done where you are so do ask your surgeon about these questions.

@Ursula72 I know! I was so relieved to not need those things.

@Ursula72 Post surgery protocols are usually dictated by the surgeon. Do ask their office about what is usually prescribed. I can imagine anyone recovering from shoulder surgery could even manage to get those TEDs on!
