Yes, compression socks can be beneficial for swollen feet. They work by applying gentle pressure to improve blood circulation and reduce swelling. I recommend wearing compression socks and consulting with a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

COmpression socks treats the symptoms of swelling, but not the root cause. There is alot of reasons for swelling such as : job, activities, varicose veins, etc...
Hi,
Usually, compression socks are good for swollen feet. They helped to keep fluid from pulling at the feet. It’s important to know why you’re having swelling in your feet. Especially at 28 years old, this should not be happening. You should let your primary care doctor now and make sure there’s nothing going on that’s dangerous.
Wishing you the best.

Yes but you need to know what’s causing the swelling
Yes compression stockings are good for any type of Adema or swelling. As long as your heart is OK compression stockings will help move up the excess fluid back to the heart which will reduce swelling. Other good options are elevating your limbs above your heart when laying down
Compression socks are good for the management of swelling, but the sizer and amount of compression is important.
Compression socks can be helpful when used for the right conditions. I recommend you see a foot and ankle surgeon (podiatrist) to determine your diagnosis and appropriate treatment options
YES...BUT MEDICAL EVALUATION IS NEEDED TO FIND THE CAUSE OF SWELLING
If you have chronic swelling compression socks are a great idea. I would start with a low compression grade such as a 15-20mmHg which is nursing grade compression.
It depends upon what is causing the swelling. Remember, the socks need to "push" the fluid from the feet towards to the center of the body. For these reasons, they need to propel the venous blood from the toes upwards. If the socks are too tight around the ankles, it could have the opposite effect, and actually worsen the swelling. Best bet is to find out why the feet are swollen in the first place, and make any necessary adjustments to diet (low sodium) or blood pressure, or weight (losing weight, if indicated, may prove useful).

They are very good. They vary with amount of compression needed, so get checked out first to find out what you need.
Compression socks can be helpful for swelling
Compression socks are good for swollen feet if the problem is cause by fluid retention and/or venous insufficiency. Compression may also be used for lymphangitis/lymphedema. But it is important to have these conditions checked, particularly if you are only 28 years old. These types of swelling may increase in patients who have been pregnant, as the pressure of the baby on the Iliac Veins within the abdomen often results in chronic venous insufficiency or swelling. But there may be other reasons for the swelling, including many inflammatory arthropathies and autoimmune disease, among other things.

It’s good to reduce the swelling as long as you don’t sleep with socks on. Also, try to move the top end of the socks periodically so it will not compromise the skin circulation. Most notice if the swelling if it is putting or no putting, in which putting leaves dimpling when pressed.
Yes, they are good for swollen feet and to keep feet from swelling in the first place. Many runners use them for exactly these reasons. Most athletic stores carry a wide variety of compression socks
