Funny you mention compression socks. Something that made a big difference for me when neuropathy was slowing my recovery from a serious spinal injury was getting proper orthotics (aka arch supports) in my shoes. I was getting serious pain with each step as I transitioned from wheelchair to walker to cane, but it went away in a couple of weeks after I started with the orthotics.

Note that I'm talking about real, custom orthotics that need a doctor's prescription and cost hundreds of dollars, not the cheap Dr Scholl's stuff in the pharmacy.

I also started wearing prescription compression stockings, but they didn't make nearly so dramatic a difference in my case (they helped more with the slight ankle swelling from the blood thinners I take to control my DVT).

For my hands, I found that squeezing one of those spring exercise things every morning eventually made the pain in my fingers, hands, and wrists go mostly away. If that's too much, even a foam stress-ball might help.

Hi, do you think you could give a brand name on compression socks? There are so many…
Thank you , Deb M
