Hi Heather, good luck with your doctor search. I'm 100% service disabled as well and mostly use the VA, especially for specialists, but I get the revolving door of doctors issue. I tore my meniscus recently and when I went to the doctor, I made sure that I wasn't wearing anything that would inhibit the doctor's ability to adequately examine the knee. In the interest of your health and for no other reason, I would suggest you not wear stockings when your feet are the body part to be examined. You wouldn't want the doctor to miss something. I've had close family with diabetic neuropathy and an overlooked sore can turn serious very quickly.
