Diabetic neuropathy... Compression stockings vs socks
 

I have neuropathy, and have diabetic sneakers. When I work overnight my feet and legs swell causing pain. A dr told me I should try compression stockings. I found compression socks first, and they are less than half the cost of the stockings. Is there a big difference in the two? And I am talking about knee-hi for both. I bought the socks and will try them this weekend, just not sure if there is any difference.
