Symptoms Of Raynaud's Disease

Numbness And Pain Upon Warming

Raynaud's disease does not come without some pain. In many cases, an individual will experience numbing and pain upon warming their skin. The numbness is the tingling feeling a body part is asleep and beginning to wake up. It is initially caused by a lack of oxygen-rich blood reaching an area, and the tingling ensues once blood flow returns to normal. Pain and throbbing sensations happen as blood surges back into the affected areas of the body. The quick return of feeling triggers pain receptors that cause the perception of pain. The areas may also feel extremely warm as they quickly regain heat. The pain is not normally severe, and if it is, it may be a sign there is some underlying cause of the Raynaud's disease.
