 Raynauds' phenomenon?????
Hi
Raynaud's phenomenon is a problem of the small blood vessels that supply blood to the skin. During an attack, the blood vessels become smaller (constrict), limiting the flow of blood to the hands (more rarely, the feet, nose, or ears). This often causes fingers to turn pale (sometimes blue) and feel cold and numb. As blood flow returns, the fingers may
become red and swollen, tingle, throb and
become painful. Raynaud's phenomenon often develops when fingers or toes are exposed to
cold.
This condidtion mainly occurs in women & carpal tunnel is one of the things that can cause one type of Raynauds. I think I just found a diagnosis for myself - the Dr. couldn't figure it out!! Anyway, after doing research on it, I have a lot of questions before I try any of the treatments. Please respond if you have any knowledge about, or
experience with this condition. Thanks, Ann S
