Hi my hands keep locking up now and then, is it because i work outside in cold conditions to the point i can't feel fingers most mornings in winter?

?Raynauds: Sensory changes in hands when exposed to cold could imply cutaneous vascular spasm (raynaudschanges) . Additional history and a visit o your doctor might help. Look for changes in skin color (as skin vessels constrict the skin turn white). Numbness and pain might ensue. Not sure eht is meant by "hands locking up"-- clarify for your doctor--do you mean joint stiffness.?
