The best socks for neuropathy

Welcome @crazycatlady4110, I have to wear compression socks during the day but also wear looser fitting socks at night because of an accident I had one night of rubbing my feet together while sleeping and having a bad toenail open a vein in my ankle. This led to an ambulance trip to the ER from the non stop bleeding. I've found that a softer material like bamboo fiber socks feel better on my feet. I also put a moisturizer lotion on my feet each night before putting the socks on. You might want to check out this other discussion to learn what others have shared.
