FWIW, I didn't coin "
folded sock"; I first heard/read it here from another member, and I wouldn't characterize it as the beginning of anything (as can be seen by accounts of others). I would say the "beginning"—for me—was edema in my feet and ankles (2009). I had that for about a year, and then began what felt like bunched up tissue under my toes. I didn't experience the "folded sock" sensation until the past year or two.

I have been getting the "folding sock" for about a year now, how long did it take to progress to the next stage for you? I realize that everyone's symptoms progress differently, mine has been progressing quite slowly for almost 30 years... I guess the next step is progression to the calf muscles and knees, this has been maybe the last 4 months...

What's the "next stage"? During the interim (~2010 to present) I've had tingling, electric shocks, needle jabs, burning pain, cramping, aching, buzzing, semi-numbness, increased sensitivity to pain & cold, loss of leg hair, and the ubiquitous all-around discomfort; trying to find—unsuccessfully—comfortable positions. Some of this has gone partway up my calves, but
so far—thankfully—no further.
