Do I keep using compression socks until healed?

This morning, I had a conversation with a runner who had an injury. He has been getting a lot better and one of the things that really seemed to help the injury improve was wearing compression socks. 

His question was a really good one. He said:

“I had so much improvement with wearing compression socks, but with the injury I have, every time I take the socks off and on, it feels like I am moving the injured tissue now.  I am not really sure if I still need the compression.”

Do I need to keep using compression socks until my injury is really healed? 

Well, that is what we're talking about today on the Doc On The Run Podcast.
