Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
57 male. Last few months have had achy tingly feet. Mainly when relaxing sitting or laying down. Keeps me awake sometimes. On blood pressure meds and chlorestoral meds. My Dr. did blood tests said all is negative. No diabetes either. Socks leave a fairly deep indent from elastic. Having nerve test done next week. He thinks Neuropathy. I m thinking blood circulation issue. Have some purple areas on side of foot and veins are spidering around my feet.

Thanks for your query...
Dear, this is a Neuro problem. Tingling, itching and similar sensations can occur when there is a compression to a superficial nerve. You are having such a compression due to the elastic of your socks. Here it is clear. Remove all tight costumes, your circulation will be cleared. But a nerve will take almost 90 days to come back to its normal stage. So you can consult a doctor and have analgesics to reduce your ache. wish you a rapid recovery.
