A member asked:
History of dvt due to antiphospholipid syndrome currently taking blood thinners. most recent vq scan and ultrasound of legs was normal. can i wear compression socks /thigh compression safely ?

Since you are on blood thinners, this should be ok. You should not wear them uncomfortably tight, however. Good luck to you!

As long as the stockings are comfortable and not too constricting, there would be no reason to avoid these.
