hi,
purple discolouration of arm, swelling of leg with loss of nail or brittleness of nail are all features which suggest neuro-vascular pathology.
Swelling ,loss of nail points towards arteriopathy be it sec to diabetes , or other vascular diseases related to smoking. The purple colour and and tingling may be a part of thoracic outlet syndrome which needs to be clinically assessed.
