What Treatment Is Suggested For Raynaud S Condition?

I HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH RAYNAUD S CONDITION IN THE LAST 8 MONTHS AND I AM UNDER A CONSULTANT RHEUMATOLOGIST. MY NEXT VISIT IS IN MAY. I HAVE RECENTLY OBSERVED IN ADDITION TO MY FINGERS AND TOES...MY KNEES GET EXTREMELY COLD EVEN MORE THAN MY FINGERS AND TOES. I HAVE ALSO HAVING SOME SORES IN MY TOES WHICH IS NOT HEALING EASILY. I VISITED MY CHIROPODIST YESTERDAY WHO ADVISED ME TO SEE MY GP BECAUSE SHE IS TO HAPPY WITH THE STATE AND COLOUR OF MY TOES. COULD THERE BE ANYTHING SERIOUS BREWING IN MY HEALTH? I AM JUST GONE 70.
