That's how my PN began, but this is the first I've heard of it referred to as "folded sock", so thanks for that. Eventually, the burning pain began, and while I was given a scrip for gabapentin (and it worked at just 100 mg.), I also tried R-Lipoic Acid at close to the same time, and it worked much better, without side effects. Haven't taken gabapentin since.

It doesn't work for everyone, but given the alternatives, IMO it's worth the try.
