Neuropathy - Do Compression Stockings Help?

Posted by charlesbrown @charlesbrown, Aug 18, 2022

Does anyone else wear compression stockings for their Neuropathy. My feet hurt 24 hrs away.

What didn't you like about the Gabapentin?

Does anyone who follows neuropathy threads recall a thread around here that had a post from a couple of days ago where a man was seeking exercises that might help his wife’s neuropathy? Someone responded with several links that looked promising. I made a mental note to check them out, but didn’t save it, Now, I can’t find it! I think the person who responded was a mod or volunteer. Thank you if you know anything about this.

Sounds familiar with my mental notes not being saved-when you remember, let us know too.

The compression socks used to ease the pain, but sadly they don't help now. My pain feels as if my feet are on fire. I also take alpha lipoic acid and for a time this did ease the pain, but no longer does.

Hello, my feet also burn especially at bed time. I have found a product over the counter named LivRelief. It is available in various degrees, I use 2 types, Blue for muscle/inflammation issues and Green for extra strength nerve/inflammation issues. The Green I apply to bottom of my feet. There is another product named Voltaren. Hope that may help!

Hi @charlesbrown

x NO PAIN, BUT USES COMPRESSION STOCKINGS x
I use they’s. I bout the Copper-brand that helps me, from my knee to the bottom-top of my feet. And, thankfully, my wife bought online close to a dozen “compression stockings” (pick the colors you want). It’s not the pain, but the problem on my back-bottom legs & my feet swells up.

Oppps… I forgot… my wife uses a different-way of her compression stocking around from her feet up her knee. That helps her around her legs, helped for less-pain when she works 8am - 4pm
