Raynaud's Syndrome: Please do what your doc says but consider a natural approach. Neo 40 is a beet root product to help circulation and has some research suggesting usefulness in Raynaud's. The pain may also be from neuropathy and sublingual vitamin B12 can be used to help w/that. See your doc or a nutritionist. Peace and good health.

See rheumatologist: You may have scleroderma which often manifest with Raynaud's and tightening of skin. Since this condition may affect other organs, you need to consult a rheumatologist.
