Has Anyone Tried Chinese Herb Therapy?
Neuropathy | Last Active: Dec 21, 2022 | Replies (23)Comment receiving replies
My peripheral neuropathy has caused my feet and now my calves to be so cold. Whether it’s the neuropathy or poor circulation caused by neuropathy. I wonder if anyone else with cold feet and legs have tried compression socks, and did they help. I don’t have swelling. Actually my calves have gotten so skinny I’m afraid compression sock won’t stay up.
Please place this post in the correct category. I didn’t know where else to post it.
Thanks Connect, Bcool123

Hello! For what it’s worth I will chime in! The socks come in different sizes and you could take them back. I got a large the first time and I have stick legs! Lol They fit but are hard to get on and off but they do help. It seems when I do wear them my feet and legs don’t hurt as much at night when I pull them off.

Hi Bcool123. I too have freezing feet very often. My circulation tests have come in great so no problem there. I can't wear compression socks, and don't need them, because any pressure at all on my feet equals pain, even on max dose of gabapentin. I wear old stretched out thin socks and oversized footwear. I use an electric warming blanket on them at home and sometimes rub 4% lidocaine on them at nite which gives me about an hour of zero pain. Hope that helps. Johnmacc
