After 2 weeks of wearing compression stockings following hysterectomy, I ordered a different brand from Amazon as the ones the hospital supplied were so uncomfortable. They are class 1 compression level (the same as supplied by hospital) but so much more comfortable. Has anyone else found a difference in comfort / quality of stockings ? Thank you 

  • I did not have compression stockings at all.  Just 2 injections a day for 7 days, although lots of ladies on here seem to have had them.

  • Hi I found the compression stocking I was given at Nottingham were much more comfortable than the ones I was given at Grantham - different NHS trusts, different buyers. I suppose as long as they are the same compression level they'll do the job as well (unless they're made in China!)

    Hi, that makes sense as I am Lincoln based we were probably given the same ones by our NHS Trust ! Thanks Barb :)
