I first noticed my toes going numb Jan of this year. I took a 5 hr. roadtrip, when i reached my destination, my toes were purple. I had NO FEELING in them. I could barely walk. I thought it was due to the long car ride.
Over the last 9 months it is becoming more frequent. My toes will become pale, white with NO feeling. I usually get into a warm bath tub and pump the blood back into them. They are very sensitive to cold weather. I have also noticed a pins-n-needles sensation in the bottom of my feet as well.
I also thought I had a nerve problem because I suffered pain in the back of my leg when I drove my car. When I dont drive, I dont have any pain.
I am 33 years old. 5'3, 135 lbs. I have gained 15 lbs over the last year, so Ive been on/off of the diet pill, Didrex (dont know if that could cause this?).
The problem is I dont have any health insurance and know that this will probably cost alot to diagnose. Any ideas of what could be the cause or dx?
