Probably try it both ways and see which gives you best results. I have both CVI Chronic Venous Insufficiency in both lower legs and some sort of neuropathy as well. The CVI has been treated via Chemical Venous Ablation, but the discoloration remains. I wear the socks to cover up the discoloration. I often feel bouts of numbess, skin surface pain and other unexplainable discomfort. Seems like it doesn't matter if I wear them or not, but over time some swelling returns, esp. to my lower left leg. I do know that I can't wait to take them off by bedtime.

@dlander I have to wear compression socks for lymphedema in my legs and I also have idiopathic small fiber peripheral neuropathy. It’s does help control the swelling in my legs but doesn’t do anything to help my neuropathy.
