Freezing Feet....

@x1Heavy All my life I've had an issue with not being able to handle the cold as well as others (it's just in my fingers/toes). I didn't become aware of the raynaulds till about 10 years ago while working in a freezer at a food plant. I know that I have a circulation issue, in 08 I fell on ice that resulted in a humeral head fracture that turned into osteonecrosis in the humeral head (bone death). Apparently the fracture severed blood vessels that never reattached... The doctor and nurse actually had to sit me in a recliner and give me orange juice after saying the words "dead/death" lol it didn't settle well with me.

Seems the smaller capillaries and such have blood flow issues. I don't drink or do drugs quit smoking back in july. Quitting smoking hasn't helped with the raynaulds, which actually happens from large temperature changes. For instance, in the summer I can wash my hands in hot water and it happens. But just because it's 80 out my hands and feet can still be ice cold. Wife says I have the hands/feet of death because they are always so cold. I don't even notice it until I touch myself some where other than my own hands or feet.

I doubt I will ever know what the cause is unless it lands me in the hospital and I survive.

 

Don't worry about it. Raynaulds is close to what you are going through. They say it cannot really be fixed. Unless someone is interested in building new blood vessals and install them into your hands and feet. That is something beyond my comprehension anyhow.

Maybe a move south out of the cold will benefit you two. Plus a hot tub. Get chilly? take a dunk she will warm you up quick enough ///teasing...

 

@TigerShark ProTip: Wiggle your toes around a lot in your shoes when they start getting chilly, believe it or not the friction and increased blood flow helps quite a bit.

 

That's good to know. I totally changed my driving position to get rid of my pain. Now I sit straight upright with the seat tilted slightly downward. I can drive long hours on bad roads comfortably now.

 

Thyroid.

It may be time for a checkup. See several doctors.

 

That is good new. Maybe it was just your boots.
