Lymphedema Stockings, Cream and Garden Gloves

Sharon O'Hara

Greetings!  Following are a few photos showing how to get compression stocking on step by step.  Each patient is different and what works for me/us, may not work for anyone else…ask your doctor.

That said, Mellissa Mercogliano of Center for Orthopedic & Lymphatic Physical Therapy in Port Orchard has not seen these photos and may note that we may be off from what she taught us  and  is not responsible for it.  She IS responsible for educating us and  leading to comforting and pain free leg wraps.
