Frostbite can it return? Any other reason for red swollen toes? |
My mother had frostbite about 5 years ago, this was confimed by her Dr. This week she had to work in a cold office because the furnance was not working properly at her job, ever since her toes that were frostbit have been red and swollen, with lots of pain when she walks, etc. She also has MS, and I wonder if this is being caused by this? MS occurs more in the colder regions, so i think the cold triggered her ms, I would say get her feet warm, and if it is not better n the next cuple of days c teh doctor. |
