Question 1

why is my foot cold after injury? is this normal?

Accepted Answer

It is NOT normal.: A very rare, but potentially dangerous and disabling condition following an injury is called regional pain syndrome (or reflex sympathetic dystrophy) which is a disturbance of the autonomic nerves. If not diagnosed and treated promptly, can lead to a lifetime of pain. There are other causes of a cold foot, like if a blood vessel was injured, but please go back to your doctor and get it checked.

Question 2

how do you fix cold feet?

Accepted Answer

Before anything else: The cause of your cold feet must be diagnosed.  There can be several reasons for cold feet including poor circulation, peripheral neuropathy, vasospastic disease, and even some arthritic conditions can do this. Start by going to your pmd who will make a recommendation for you to see an appropriate specialist. Once we have a diagnosis, then we can find a suitable treatment.

Question 4

how to treat cold feet?

Accepted Answer

Warm them up: If you work outdoors or are exposed to cold, wear warmer shoes and socks. Making sure your feet are dry can help.

There can be medical reasons for cold feet as well: issues with your circulation, thyroid or peripheral nerves that affect bloodflow to the feet and toes.  Check with your doctor if these issues might be the problem.

Question 5

cold foot right side only?

Accepted Answer

It sounds : Like you may be experiencing symptoms from a nerve impingement. Since, you mention a cold extremity, you need to differentiate if the extremity is legitimately colder or just feels like that. If there is sudden onset coldness in one extremity, the concern would be a decrease in blood flow and needs to be assesses promptly. You need to set up an appt with your internist asap.(same like last quest).

Question 9

toddler has very cold feet. what is the cause?

Accepted Answer

&gt; 1 possibilities: If the ambient temp is cool, the body decreases circulation to the hands and feet to conserve warmth.   The same happens if a person is slightly dehydrated, esp with illness and fever, so pushing giving fluids may help. Likely the child has a condition called dyshydrosis where the feet tend to sweat and the evaporation cools the skin.  Often there is no known cause.  No worry if child acts well.
