I have a back problem for which i take meds, at varying doses depending on what pain I am in. Could this be the cause of it?
I have noticed it on and off for a while but it's not hugely problematic, mostly in my feet, but sometimes my hands, or fingers in particular get hot/red and sore/stiff (not ever purple, but quite red). I notice it with my feet when I exercise in particular, when I take my trainers off for pilates (a while ago since I did that though!) I have red, swollen, sometimes purple feet, where my friend who has also exercised has beautifully slender, normal coloured feet!
Anyway, I tend to notice most when I get in the shower at home, I guess as that's when i look down? Or maybe it's when the burning is most obvious.
Today, I was standing on my feet, they felt really hot, burning, throbbing, and when I looked down they were almost florescent purple around the toes, and red too. Made me go and I thought I would see if anyone had a clue what that's about?
It's weird because, once apon a time I used to have Very Cold hands and feet, used to drive DH bonkers. I was notorious for it - in the summer when it was nice and warm I would at night when we got into bed, put my feet on his back and he would scream! (in the winter I didn't dare, they were so cold that would be just cruel, I learnt from experience!), and now, they are always very hot in bed.
