Symptoms
Buerger's disease symptoms include:
- Tingling or numbness in the hands or feet.
- Pale, reddish or blue-tinted hands or feet.
- Pain that may come and go in your legs and feet or in your arms and hands. This pain may occur when you use your hands or feet and eases when you stop that activity (claudication), or when you're at rest.
- Inflammation along a vein just below the skin's surface (due to a blood clot in the vein).
- Fingers and toes that turn pale when exposed to cold (Raynaud's phenomenon).
- Painful open sores on your fingers and toes.
