Have Numbness, Discoloration And Tenderness In The Hands And Legs

The tip of my left-hand s forefinger is totally numb at times, suddenly beginning a few days ago. I had corpal tunnel surgery on that hand three years ago. I have discoloration (bluish/redness) and some tenderness on some of my toes, especially in the wintertime. I have general arthritic problems, but am basically remarkably healthy and agile for my 79 2/3 years. Should I be concerned about the numb finger joint.

Hi,Welcome to Health care magic forum.
The tip of your left hands fore finger is totally numb,since few days. You had carpal tunnel syndrome 3 years ago. Have bluish or reddish discoloration, and tender ness on the toes in winter.
It appears to be due to the atherosclerosis,of the terminal blood vessels, of the arms and legs.
I advise you to consult a vascular surgeon for diagnosis and treatment.You may need to have a color doppler for diagnosis.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts, and protein rich foods,to have good health resistance against the infections.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. thank you.
