How do you get your Compression Socks For Swollen Ankles?

One way to apply your stockings:

Turn your stocking inside out by putting your hand inside the foot, and grab the heel and pull the stocking inside out.

Slide your foot into the stocking until your toe and heel are in place.

Pull the top of the stocking up over your ankle and calf until it is in place.

In order to keep you stockings from getting holes or runs in them, never pull or tug on them. Take off any jewelry that may snag them when you are putting them on.
