I’ve found relief from my lower leg neuropathy symptoms with these:
I wear the ankle compression socks too- I believe these work to counteract the tingling by providing opposing pressure- just like if you hit your thumb with something and automatically squeeze it, and it feels better. I believe you are fooling your brain to pay less attention to the false signals coming up to it from the damaged nerve endings. Google “neuroplasticity” to read about it.
I also sit or stand at the kitchen counter and “march” until things feel better, I think, again, the opposing counter pressure is telling your brain to pay less attention to the false signals.
Sometimes I’m woken up by the pain and tingling. I got a bedside safety rail so I can stand up safely when half-awake and start marching. Works for me, worth a try?

@centre Forgot to say- the Neuro PT specialist I saw said to wear non-skid socks in the house ( I buy good quality pairs on Amazon and wear them alone or over the compression socks if the symptoms require). He said that wearing the non-skids provides more direct, full pressure to the sensory nerve endings on the soles of your feet, so much more accurate information is getting to your brain, real signals from undamaged nerve endings, rather than masked and limited signals coming while wearing shoes or slippers. He said that will help with balance too.
