What Causes Pain And Discoloration In The Feet And Hands?

I am a big runner however, lately i have been having problems with my feet and hands. My feet are hurting mid foot to toes and they are turning a dark grey color almost like a black color and it hurts to step on them and my hands are turning grey around fingers and they are cold all the time. I have prolapse and i love sweets but i have ran several marathons and I run everyday but I have never had this problem before. This has been happening for about the last three months but not every day

Hi,

As per your clinical history, please follow like this:

1) Do a clinical examination by your Doctor [Cardiologist], and to confirm the exact cause, do few investigations like Doppler ultrasound, Ankle-brachial index (ABI), Angiography, fasting blood sugar and lipid profile.

2) Discuss with your Doctor about prescription medicines like:

-a) Atorvastatin, Fenofibrate to reduce Cholesterol

-b) Clopidogrel to prevent blood clots

-c) Cilostazolfor foot pain

3) Discuss with your Doctor about permanent treatment like Angioplasty.

Do follow lifestyle modifications like this:

1) Try to avoid smoking.

2) If you have diabetes, keep your blood sugar in good control.

3) Do exercise regularly. Aim for 30 minutes at least three times a week after you've gotten your doctor's OK.

4) Lower your cholesterol and blood pressure levels, if applicable. Eat foods that are low in saturated fat.

5) Try to maintain a healthy weight.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Uday Nath Sahoo
