Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your symptoms.
Based on the description, we need to exclude
peripheral neuropathy and Raynaud's phenomena.
In peripheral neuropathy, nerves of the hands are affected either due to compression of the nerve at wrist (such as
carpal tunnel syndrome), or due to infections,
vasculitis, etc. This can be confirmed by doing nerve conduction studies.
In Raynaud's disease, the
artery gets narrowed at times, resulting in symptoms that you described.
Please discuss with your doctor regarding both.
I hope my reply has helped you.
I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
Best wishes,
