socks and neuropathy please read

Posted by faybe @faybe, Jun 28 1:19pm

I have neuropathy in my feet and in the tips of my fingers. It bothers me tremendously it hurts, stings burns, etc. The strange thing about it is, I feel like I have socks on and cannot take them off. It feels like sometimes they are too tight and hurting the end of my toes. I can push my skin down and it helps sometimes. I am not crazy, this is true. Does anyone else have this problem? It is an awful feeling all the time. Never heard anyone else say this. Don't know what king of neuropathy I have. Fay

Early in my "neuropathy career" I was told that neuropathy is also called the "socks disease" Feels like they are on even when they are not. My suggestion: learn to live with this. There is no cure for neuropathy.

yup been my take for the last 6 or so years, but I will say I have found a day to day shoe that tops all the rest, a bit trendy but the most comfortable shoes yet. the Hoda Bondi 8 is the only shoe that would come in a bonna fide 4 and 5 x width, the toe box is massive and would accommodate a shock but now I am down to finding a sock that will absorb sweat and odor. but I just cant seem to find socks that are not confining, light or thin enough to take care of that

Did the pain stop before or after you started the fish oil?

Interesting. Do you know what caused the pain to stop?
