Pulmonary embolism prevention?


I had two major surgeries, so I am wearing anti-embolism stockings which may help avoid deep vein thrombosis . How long should I wear them?

That question really needs to be answered by your surgeon. Normally depending on what type of procdure you had the leggings will be worn upwards of six weeks post op.
