I have severe diabetic neuropathy. The burning sensation in the soles of my feet cause restless legs. Along with causing me to toss and turn. As often as 2 or 3 times a minute, I will have shooting pain in various parts of my feet. It feels like a hot nail driven into the bone. The pain would eventually abate on its own after 15 minutes of me laying down.
These socks are a godsend. The burning sensation reduced from an 8 to a 2. The restless legs are gone. I still have the occasional sharp pain in the foot, but reduced to 1 every few minutes. I can actually fall asleep and stay asleep.
