Suggest Remedy For Numbness In Fingers And Toes
Lately, my fingers and toes have become continually numb. Additionally, my calves swell around the top of my socks. I m 50, work on my feet all day (sometimes 12-15 hrs), drink alcohol, use smokeless tobacco. I take Amlodapine (spelling?) for high blood pressure. Need more specific information?

Hello,
Alcohol and tabacco may be the main cause of the numbness you may be having. I don't think Amlodipine is the cause of it. You need to stop having alcohol or tobacco.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
