I’ve got this one thread bookmarked, and for some reason, ads are constantly popping up on both the left and right sides. It wouldn't even be that bad if they weren't literally covering up part of the actual discussion.

Does anyone know how to get rid of this?

The doctors know she can't feel her arm. Honestly, I’m praying it’s just massive swelling, but man, given how fast this happened and how bad the arm looks, I'm terrified they actually tore some nerves. It’s killing him because he’s stuck just waiting around, and he’s seriously losing his mind—he's fed up with lying on his back unable to move an inch. We’ve had zero progress with that swelling for seven days now. And every single time he tries to shift, they have to sedate him because his hands have to stay kept wide open.

My brother got wiped out on his bike... total wreck. He’s gonna be fine eventually, everything heals, but man, his arm is looking like a banana right now. It’s messed up. He can't feel anything, there are open wounds everywhere, and the swelling is insane—it looks like three times its actual size. The doctors told us they can't really do anything until the swelling goes down. Right now, he just has this little tube draining blood from the arm, and he's been stuck like that for a week already. Anyone dealt with something similar? Any advice?

So, I just got back from my doctor. She told me it’s just poor circulation in my limbs (not even all 🙂) and suggested some circulation tests, but I skipped them because she gave me the wrong address...
As for those chilblains, she just handed me some cream. Honestly, those things only last a week or two before they clear up anyway. I'm pretty sure it's happening because my hands are always freezing, and I absolutely wreck them at work. I'm constantly bumping them into stuff or lifting heavy loads...

Are you dealing with any anxiety or issues right now? Like, tons of stress or something keeping you up at night... Or maybe you just have "white coat syndrome" when you see a doctor?

I'm about 175 pounds and 6'2". So yeah, pretty skinny. Stress isn't really an issue for me—honestly, I could sleep all day and night if I could😉 my blood work comes back perfect every time. It’s actually the numbness in my fingers that's killing me more than my blood pressure. Since it only happens during the winter, I'm thinking it's just the cold. Problem is, I can't wear gloves because of my job. Should I try starting some Ginkgo Biloba for circulation??

So, I’m 25. My blood pressure usually sits right around 130/87, and my resting heart rate is about 60. I get this ringing in my ears quite a bit too, though it doesn't last long. During the winter, my hands are constantly freezing, and my fingers swell up all the time—sometimes the swelling sticks around for a week or two. There have been times where the pain was so bad I couldn't get anything done for two weeks straight. My doctor told me my circulation is poor. Honestly, I don't really get how my circulation can be "bad" if my blood pressure is only slightly elevated. I haven't smoked in over six months, either. Has anyone else dealt with similar circulation issues?
