Anything with spandex or stretch material just adds to the pain The less, I put on my feet/ankles, the less the pain. Also, more frequently than I like, have to sit with my feet proped on pillows for a while. Usually the burning will subside. The more, the standing, the quicker the pain returns. I also take narcotics for pain. ( Spine/fusion and legs/feet.)

Try the best you can to alievate the pain in your feet. Hope some of what works for me (shoes/socks) will be of help to you. Maybe, just maybe, you can prevent this from worsening.

dear fellow sufferer,

The tip about the all cotton socks makes a lot of good sense to me. TX
