What Can Cause Numbness And Tingling Sensation On The Fingers And Toes?

my fingers and toes got very cold on a mountaineering expedition 5 days ago. They were numb various time throughout the trip but i kept them warm and i think from frostbite. They seem to be sensitive/numb/tingling still. no visual signs of frostbite. discolouration blackness etc. a little red and sore in shoes walking. maybe slightly swollen. any advice/thoughts?

Hi,

There are many medical conditions that cause numbness and tingling sensation on the fingers and toes. One of the most common causes is diabetes. So, I would suggest you to examine the glycemia levels for further evaluation and proper treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
