They most definitely can and many doctors do recommend them, or at least mine did. Just make sure you get the right compression, not too tight. I had to experiment to get the correct size, until I found this info:
"To measure for compression socks, you need to take a few measurements of your leg, including the circumference of your ankle at its narrowest point and your calf at its widest point. You should also measure your shoe size and, for longer socks, the length from the bottom of your foot to the bottom of your buttocks. It's best to do this in the morning when your legs are least swollen, and then use a manufacturer's sizing chart to determine the correct size."
I started wearing them after I had a DVT/PE, for about 6 months and I still wear them occasionally now when my legs tend to swell.
