Hi @rocko, I would like to add my welcome to Connect along with @danny5. I have idiopathic small fiber peripheral neuropathy but only have some numbness and no pain in my feet and legs. I also have lymphedema in the legs which I need to wear compression socks daily to help with the fluid build up during the day. The compression socks don't aggravate my neuropathy but it does add a tightness feeling in my legs and at the end of the day it feels good to take them off. You might find the following discussion helpful.

You might also want to look through the comments on compression socks in other discussions in the Neuropathy Support Group. Here is a search link that shows the comments from other members - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/neuropathy/?search=compression+socks&index=comments.

Has your doctor prescribed or recommended compression socks to help with your feet and legs?

The compression socks were RX from the doctors follow up for cancer surgery on my leg. He said to wear the socks for 6 months for my leg. Ray
