What Causes Pain And Numbness In The Toe?

My feet/toes get so cold when I sit at night. The toes actually hurt and it takes a lot for me to get them warm. Even now when the weather is getting warmer my toes still get so cold. Then when they do get warm it almost feels like a rush of blood going into my feet and then they will get real warm. Could this be a circulation issue?

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
Hello,
I have studied your case and I think that this pain is due to Raynaud'd phenomena. In this there is spasm of the vessels when this is exposed to cold. And as soon as there is warmth vessels get dilated.
I would recommend you to avoid cold weather and wear socks all the time. Also you should wash your feet with warm water whenever there is bluishness. if still there are symptoms then you need to show it to a vascular surgeon.
thanks
