Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Ability to comprehend and sign an informed consent and complete study questionnaires
- •Patient is participating in usual work and home activities with no changes anticipated for the duration of the study
- •The use of compression stocking is prescribed in accordance with the usual practice and management of venous disorders
- •The patient will confirm they are willing to pay for the compression stockings.
Exclusion Criteria
- •The patient has a known allergy to any component of the stocking (latex, etc)

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Mental/Emotional Functioning as Assessed by the SF-12 HRQoL Instrument Mental Component Summary (MCS)
Time Frame: 6 months
The short-form 12 item (SF-12) HRQoL health status instrument measures Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL). It produces overall HRQoL estimates as well as sub-scale scores (Physical Component Summary (PCS) and Mental Component Summary (MCS)) that assess both mental/emotional and physical functioning related to health. The scoring scale is from 0 to 100, the higher the score the better the health related quality of life.
Pain Management Experienced During Their Postoperative Care as Assessed by Five-point Satisfaction Scale
Time Frame: 6 months
Five-point satisfaction scale consists of patients rating their overall postoperative pain management experience using a 5-point rating system. The scale ranges from 1 to 5, with 1 being "extremely dissatisfied", 2 "somewhat dissatisfied", 3 "Neutral/Neither satisfied nor dissatisfied", 4 "somewhat satisfied" and 5 "extremely satisfied" with their postoperative pain care.
Pain as Assessed by Brief Pain Inventory
Time Frame: 6 months
The Brief Pain Inventory is a medical questionnaire used to measure pain, developed by the Pain Research Group of the World Health Organization Collaborating Center for Symptom Evaluation in Cancer Care. The score is an average of seven questions about pain interference in life. The score scale is from 0 to 10. 0 being pain does not interfere and 10 being that it completely interferes. 10 would be a worst outcome.
Overall Estimate of Functioning as Assessed by the SF-12 HRQoL Instrument (Overall HRQoL Estimate)
Time Frame: 6 months
The short-form 12 item (SF-12) HRQoL health status instrument measures Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL). It produces overall HRQoL estimates as well as sub-scale scores (Physical Component Summary (PCS) and Mental Component Summary (MCS)) that assess both mental/emotional and physical functioning related to health. The scoring scale is from 0 to 100, the higher the score the better the health related quality of life.
Physical Functioning as Assessed by the SF-12 HRQoL Instrument Physical Component Summary (PCS)
Time Frame: 6 months
The short-form 12 item (SF-12) HRQoL health status instrument measures Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL). It produces overall HRQoL estimates as well as sub-scale scores (Physical Component Summary (PCS) and Mental Component Summary (MCS)) that assess both mental/emotional and physical functioning related to health. The scoring scale is from 0 to 100, the higher the score the better the health related quality of life.
