For the last three years when I fly from cold NJ to warm Florida, almost within an hour after I fly both sets of toes start to swell and become numb. The days following the prickly pain on the bottem of my toes worsen and blisters and some purple spots appear. Advil helps. Toes heal about 2-3 days after returning to NJ. My last episode was the worst. I have been to a Vascular surgeon and had an ultra-sound and all vascular conditions were ruled out. My regular doc know wants me to have an EMG which I am scared to have. This only happens after I fly to a warm climate in the winter monthes. Anyone at all have any similar symptoms??

Hi, if it gets itchy, its sounds like chiblains to me.ususally just soothing creamsTreatment is more preventive than cure.That is prevent the area from getting frozen wear warm clothing as much as you can ,gloves and so on Because it has to do with circulatory problems eat,drink stuff that boost your blood and immune system
