I wanted to know if I have to continue wearing the support stocking or can I continue with the medication only?

After my delivery I had phlebitis. I have been taking Xarelto for a few months and I also have a support stocking. My leg has become normal again for several weeks or even 1 or 2 months.

Hello Ma'am,

If your leg size and appearance are back to normal, and you are active, it is possible to stop wearing the support stockings indeed.

Is this the case?

Yes my leg is back to normal and I walk every day.

I always take my Xarelto too.
