I think I might have Raynaud’s syndrome, but I dont really get the symptoms in my hands. My hands can get very cold and feel like they are burning when exposed to cold, but they don’t turn colors. However, my feet are a different story. My third and fouth toes on the right foot turn purple and numb quite often. The skin on them is very rough and dry, but not on my other toes (maybe a little, but nothing like the two toes), and and they are sometimes swollen. My feet always feel cold….I could wear 3 pairs of socks and still be freezing.
In the spring and summer though, I dont have this problem with my toes. Does anyone know what this could be? I had the same problem last year and went to the doc, had an aterial doppler study on my legs that was normal, its not diabetes or vitamin b12 deficiency or peripheral neuropathy. My sed rate was somewhat elevated. The doctor really didnt know what the problem was or how to treat it but it eventually went away.. I am just wondering what type of doctor I should go see about this? A rheumatologist, dermatologist, pediatrist, or neurologist? Thanks for your help!!
I dont want to go back to that doctor, I would like to get a second opinion but I dont know who I should go to.
what does your doctor recommend? seek a 2nd opinion.
