Cold feet due to neuropathy - need help

Hi Debbie, I wear compression socks which are thin and not very warm for my lymphedema so in the winter time I generally slip on a pair of bamboo stretchy socks over the top. This gives me a little more thickness and helps keep the feet a little warmer. On the really cold days when I have to be outside I also wear Hot Sockee - Neoprene Toe Warmers which keep the heat in the front half of my foot - https://www.amazon.com/Hot-Sockee-Neoprene-Warmers-Construction/dp/B076B56FPD/. There are many brands and types of bamboo socks available on Amazon but I haven't seen any locally at stores here.

A cardiologist will tell you not to sleep in compression hose at night. You are not moving around and it can cause blood clots. I slept in my Ted hose one night got gripped out by cardiologist. I knew better as an RN but I was just so exhausted.
I buy a pair of really soft xxl cashmere socks I sleep in. Before putting the on I put magnesium with hemp cream from Amazon.
