Cold Toes

Filed under: Health/ Fitness — gardener @ 5:15 am

A few nights ago- I my toes were freezing- Ok- it seems like lately my feet are cold more often than not, but on this paticular evening I was desperate to get them warm, so I ran some bath water that may have been a little too hot. Then I did what one generally does when they run bath water- I got in the tub. My poor toes went into shock I think, because they started hurting AND they turned purple. Eventually they stopped hurting and the color returned, but since then- my feet have been a little numb. Of course, it probably doesn’t help that they’ll get cold and then I’ll put them on a hot water bottle to warm- but it was something I noticed after the bath incident.

I think it’s a normal type reaction, but I’m keeping an eye on it- and if it lasts longer than a week, it looks like a trip to the doctor will be in my future.
