Compression Stocking Question
So I have lymphedema in my left leg, not my right. I was given compression stockings that go up to my knee for both legs. My left leg was finally less swollen than it normally is, so I was able to get my compression stocking on that leg. I got the other compression stocking on my right leg, but after about two hours, my toe on my right foot started to feel swollen. I got the right compression stocking off and within a few minutes I could feel the swelling decreasing. Is this a normal thing with lymphedema? This hasn’t happened to me before. I’m adding the pic of my right foot to show the swelling.
