What Causes Cold Sensation In Knees And Feet?
Hi, I have just started experiencing a very cold sensation in my knees and feet. It is not that cold where I live and I have never experience this sensation before. At night I don t seem to be able to warm up no matter how many covers I put on top. I ve had anemia before but haven t had it for many years...could anemia be the cause of my problem? Please help. Thank you!

Hello,
Anemia could lead to this clinical situation. Other possible causes to consider would be: peripheral neuropathy and vitamin B12 deficiency.
For this reason, I recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and some tests:
- complete blood count and iron plasma levels
- nerve conduction studies
- vitamin B12 plasma levels.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
