Should I wear compression socks if I have a running injury?

A few days ago I was doing a phone consultation for a patient who had a fracture in his fifth metatarsal. I was trying to help him understand how important it is to reduce inflammation to speed healing. During our call he asked a great question. “Should I wear compression socks if I have a running injury?” In this episode were talking about whether or not you should wear compression socks when you have a running injury.
