Has Anyone Tried Chinese Herb Therapy?

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

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

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.
