Over the past 5-6 weeks I have now and again noticed a weird feeling of numbness in one or two fingers. Only one finger at a time, almost like you've been sitting on it or it's really cold. When it feels like this the finger goes white and sort of looks like it's been pinched up on the finger tip & wont regain its normal shape - so it seems like there is absolutely no capillary refill & it just doesn't pink up, it can last like this for an hour or two. I didn't click it could be anything diabetic until yesterday when the same thing happened to my little toe, I'd been out in the garden in my wellies in the cold & my little toe had gone completely numb and white & weird. But it resolved after an hour or two. The fact that it's doing something in my feet has made me worry it might be a neuropathy thing - can that be possible? Can neuropathy affect variable fingers & toes and be intermittent?
Any advice much appreciated
