Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My finger tips and my toes get numb quickly when duing chores in the cold. I ve recently had some fingers and toes become and stay completely white for some time. Even after I return to the heated building. Will they eventually loose feeling as I age?

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement, Dr. Saurabh Gupta's Response
Hi, Thanks for your query. Most likely cause for numbness in finger and toe is peripheral neuropathy. I would recommend you to get vitamin B 12 levels done.
I would like to know what kind of job you are doing like playing musical instrument/job which makes feet vibratory - then there are chances ofRaynaud's phenomenon. In this condition, people will experience numbness in feet with similar cold feeling. Cold stimulation test confirms it.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any more concern. Warm Regards.
