Struggling a bit here with some symptoms that appeared last year. I started with pins and needles in my hands and feet in September 2022. GP was not concerned but a good range of blood tests done. All good as far as they were concerned but I felt like my b12 was low at 222 so I started supplements. Fast forward and no improvement, so neurology referral, seen in feb, sent for MRI of neck and brain in May. All fine so I was discharged after seeing them once. By the time the MRI came around MRI, the vague pin and needles is now a burning pain in my hands and feet. Worse at night. In July I noticed I had blood pooling in my hands? Red mottled hands whenever my arms are lowered which makes walking and standing awkward as they throb. As soon as I raise them above my heart the blood drains. I mentioned this to my GP and they told me it was raynauds. I said I disagreed as heat makes my condition worse and it is influenced by gravity. The cold actually eases my blood pooling and the throbbing that comes with it.
GP has this week took repeat bloods but basically said I am fine and they will give me medication to deal with the pain. But really? Is that it? I am 33 and they don’t even want to investigate further? I don’t even know what to ask them to look into and google hasn’t helped
is bad circulation causing my blood pooling? Could low b12 damage my nerves so quickly it is effecting my blood flow in my hands? I’ve read about dysautomnia and vein conditions but I am struggling to advocate for myself
