Yes.
My specialist told me that this can be part of the pulmonary thrombosis condition but offered no solution. I am not on any medication because of side effects. I have found warmth helps, so wear appropriate clothing such as wool, day and night. Also, have just started oxygen which helps when short of breath and there has been a small improvement in legs.
Hope this helps somewhat.
Liz

@lizaussie Dear Liz, I appreciate you sharing with me. I have a good pulmonologist, and know numb feet, toes, lower legs etc can be symptoms of COPD, but wanted to reach out and see if anyone had what I’m experiencing. I have mild/moderate emphysema, severe bronchitis, and lung nodules. I am not on oxygen and can exercise, and play pickle ball so I am blessed and grateful for that. I take Spiriva and have Albuterol as a rescue inhaler, but am fortunate to not have had an exasperation yet. I’m new to this site and think it’s great. Thanks again for replying so quickly and I hope your situation improves and you’re feeling well. I will definitely take your suggestions. My nephew just moved back to the states after 5 years in Australia. I’m thinking that’s where you live. All the best, Arthur
