Debbie... Yes, Sometimes my fingers and hands tingle and they sometimes feel numb for short periods at a time... I do not know "as of now" if the vascular problem is the cause of the neuropathy, but I have also read where vascular problems in one area can cause neuropathy symptoms and also will effect the whole body... I do not have a problem with swelling of my legs or other extremities... I do have diabetes but it is under control as my A1C is 5.8 ... When my diabetes was bad at first my lower legs would swell just a bit, so I attributed the neuropathy to the diabetes.. But my Vascular doctor told me that the lower leg discoloration is a vascular problem that needs to be corrected as it will get worse and do more damage as time goes on, and this can cause neuropathy symptom's as well... So the doctor is going to map out all the veins in my legs and then close off all the broken veins that are leaking.... I am hoping my insurance coverage will cover the procedure, and it most likely will... P.S. I do not have varicose veins.. Just discoloration around the upper area of my ankles...
