Sorry you are hurting more.
Narcotic pain drugs do cause swelling in some people. Sometimes switching to another drug may help.
There are diabetic socks...they are softer and larger and do not bind. WalMart has some. They are called Medipeds. I use them in white, but I don't wear socks much anymore.
There is a catalog called FootSmart... some of our posters get things there:

Some diabetic type socks are quite expensive. That is why I go to WalMart. They may be in the socks section OR the pharmacy area...seems they move them around alot.
It can be a challenge to find the right type of shoes, and socks.
Some of our RSD posters use a bamboo sock, and claim those are really good. There are many sellers online on Google. I haven't used these yet, but I've seen posts about them being really soft for people with foot pain.
