Well, I learned this after the nurses in PT would battle daily with my socks and then one day this little gal came in and whipped those old socks on like a hoodathunkit!!
I hope I can explain it well... Turn the sock completely inside out and then turn just the toe right side out. Put the toe part over your own toes and then slide the sock right up your foot onto your leg. It works every time. Try it and see if I have explained it well enough?

I wear compression socks & they help.

My solution for the dependent edema- swelling caused by gravity and the lack of nerve control of the arteries and veins- is hanging upside down. I put in my ear-buds, turn on my ipod, and flip myself upside down for 30 minutes. Works great. F
