fuzzy finger and a toe

[aulpn]

R ring finger white at tips/ purple at 2nd knuckle.
2-3 digit toes also numb and fuzzy.  What causes this.  I am Diabetic, but doesn't sound like pheriphal Neuropathy to me.  Neck has felt out past 5-7 days.

I have a similar problem, the fuzzy / fizzy feeling in my toes & fingers.
My cholestrol level is very high, 12.8, due to me "self medicating" after
going though a traumatic experience.  I have stopped drinking all alcohol and don't eat anything with sugar, except fruit. I am on medication for cholestrol,
high blood pressure, relaxants, anti bleeding (I was bleeding internally)

Any ideas what is causing the fuzziness and lack of energy by the end of the day.

Your advise & / or opinion would be greatly appreciated.

Hello dear and welcome to the medhelp forum. These symptoms could be related with raynaud’s phenomenon where one has discoloration of fingers and toes after some emotional event or cold/hot exposure. The fingers or toes turn white, purple and finally red in response to vasospasm. This needs a thorough evaluation for conditions like rheumatic diseases like scleroderma, rheumatoid arthritis, hypothyroidism and trauma. Certain blood tests to check for erythrocyte sedimentation rate, rheumatoid factor and antinuclear antibody may be required. You also need your cervical spine evaluated for any degenerative disc disease or disc prolapse with cervical canal stenosis causing both upper and lower limb symptoms. Check your blood sugar control with glycosylated hemoglobin values. Consult a physician immediately for evaluation. Wishing you all the best.
