Numb fingers tips

Does anyone else suffer from or know why my fingertips go numb? It only happens when I go food shopping and I'm pushing the trolley with DS sat in it?

Theres a name for this (can't remember what is is tho, how helpful). Do your fingers go white and cold? or just numb?

If they go white at the tips it may be Reynauld's syndrome. It isn't serious I don't think, just bad circulation (I think!).

THATS the name I was thinking of!

My daughter has Raynaud's syndrome, but it is the primary sort that is associated with cold/poor circulation and is harmless. I took her to our GP to confirm this and get it put on her notes as secondary Raynaud's is more serious and can be associated with other conditions. What you have doesn't sound serious, but it might be worth mentioning to your GP next time you are in, to check it and get it recorded in case you have a problem later. Hope that helps.
