White finger tips

[DonnaC-T]

Hi
My finger tips, mainly two, keep going deathly white, quite painful and really cold. Is this a complication? Does anyone else get it? Donna x

Hi Donna, sounds like poor circulation, I would speak to your doc.

It could be Raynaud’s syndrome - best get it checked by your GP though.

Who can say Donna, best let your Dr take a look.

Sounds like Raynaud's. My son has it too. There isn't any medical treatment, just advice to wear gloves and be careful - eg don't climb a ladder or go rock-climbing when it's cold, and always wear gloves when riding a bicycle. According to our GP it's fairly common among teenagers, most of whom grow out of it.

Doctor says it is Reynaud's. so gloves from now on. I've also got to have some extra blood tests to make sure nothing else is going on.
Thanks for the advise guys. Finger still hurts from yesterday. :/
