@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.

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.
