At the time I wrote the original post the top of my feet just behind my toes was "too low to measure"

For the past 2 days, in the absence of compression socks, the top of my feet just behind my toes has been at least 97.6 on both feet.

I called my primary care and reported that I now had empirical evidence that the compression socks were causing my feet to be cold.
This was necessary because circulation tests said circulation wasn't really bad, and the neuropath lab report said the couldn't rule out that my feet were normal temp but my nerves were misreporting that they we cold. They apparently didn't have or wish to use a thermometer.

I haven't heard back from my primary care to get an admission that all the doubt about my mental wellness around my feet feeling cold is simply bullshit. Experience says, docs never want to admit that they passed off bullshit responses. And I get that. In many ways they are just ordinary people psychologically, and ordinary people placed in authority really don't want to be wrong and find ways to deflect such
