Could Poor Circulation Be The Cause Of Pain In Toes For Years?
Good afternoon. I have suffered for years with pain inthe toes on my right foot. I have tried all sorts of dry,xrays etc.to no avail. This morning was cooler here and I put covered shoes on. Immediately I had pain in my toes. I wondered if it is just very poor circulation as I suffer all winter with cold feet and hands? I popped into the chemist and purchased Venotrex, but am not sure this is the right product. Any suggestions would be great thank you. Karen

Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.
As you rightly said, poor circulation is one of the causes for pain in the toes. But, there are many other causes that present with similar complaints.
Without knowing the underlying cause for your symptoms, I feel that it is not wise to use over the counter medications. I suggest you to consult your family for a detailed evaluation and further management.
Hope this information is helpful. Good day
