What Causes Pain In Toes, Hands And Back Post Food Intake?

After I eat I get pain in the toes and my hands and sometimes cramps all over. It feels hard to breath and there is pain across my middle and sometimes my back. This feeling lasts for as little as an 1/2 hour and sometimes as long as six or more hours.

Fingertip and toe pain is caused by injuries such as cuts, scrapes, fractures and dislocations. However, certain medical conditions and environmental factors can also cause pain in the fingertips and toes. Pain in these regions ranges from mild to severe, depending on the cause. In some cases, the pain can affect a person's activities of daily living.
Raynaud's disease can cause pain in the fingertips and toes. According to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, Raynaud's disease is a rare condition that primarily targets the arteries in the extremities. Arteries are blood vessels that transport oxygenated blood from the heart to the organs and tissues. The institute states that Raynaud's disease is characterized by brief bouts of vasospasm, or narrowing of the arteries. A narrowing of the arteries restricts circulation to the fingers and toes. The fingers are most commonly affected, although approximately 40 percent of people with Raynaud's disease also experience pain in the toes, according to the institute. In some cases, the nose, ears, nipples and lips are affected. Common signs and symptoms associated with Raynaud's disease include cold, painful fingers and toes, skin discoloration in the affected area and stinging pain in the fingers and toes when warming up or following a stressful situation.
