5. I don;t sleep with them on, but I have worn cotton crew socks to help with cold feet

I'd like to find the sweet spot relative to type of compression socks and duration of having them on my feet.

A couple of months ago I was really alarmed about the advance of "tingling" up my shins, and it made me paranoid about moving into the club of diabetics having to have their feet cut off.

I''m following my doc's advice, on exercise and weight managment but also reaching out into B-vitamin therapy as I've had other vitamin deficiencies, particularly bad was my D3.

The outcome of following her suggestions for months was hair began to grow on my legs below my knee They've been naked of hair for a decade.
The vitamin B therapy is too recent to know what it is really doing, but I have suffered from piriformes syndrome where the piriformes muscle rubes on the sciatic nerve to produce pain in the Butt and Hip. I have no idea which vitamin may be helping but I"ve had no episodes of crippling pain in my butt and hip in over a month and it used to get me on short walls (grocery shopping, walking 100 ft to my tool shed, and walking 400 feet up a very modest hill to my mailbox.
