In 2024 I begin having some numbness and tingling in feet. I have always been very active so I thought it was just from overdoing things. Symptoms continued and gradually got worse. Initially I went to a neck and spine doctor thinking it was pinched sciatic. The symptoms were equal in both feet and the doctor felt it was peripheral neuropathy. A pain management specialist prescribed gabapentin but I refused to go that route. Eventually I started wearing compression socks and did find some relief. However on nights I kept them on overnight I would often wake up with severe calf cramps.

I am still not convinced my problem is neuropathy. In June of this year I had a laminectomy (without fusion) and I am still in recovery. I am hoping this was the magic cure, time will tell. I just wanted to share my leg cramping with overnight compression sock wearing.

Thanks for allowing me share my story. BTW- this is my first post.
