I hope you’re all aware that compression socks are not intended to treat peripheral neuropathy! They offer muscle support and can reduce leg and low back fatigue but they essentially do nothing for PN.

That is a great point @jenatsky. I definitely wouldn't be wearing them if I didn't have lymphedema along with my peripheral neuropathy except maybe for a long plane ride.

I know compression socks don't treat PN but for me PERSONALLY my legs feel better at the end of the day
I was not suggesting they were for everyone.
