Blue fingers/toes

I have a new weird symptom....blue pinky fingers and toes (they're also numb and hurt).  When they aren't blue, they're red...but they have been feeling numb constantly.   I go to see my GP next week and will be having decompression/fusion surgery next month....should I be seen by the GP sooner?

My fingers turn white and go numb. And red and purple. Nl says its raynauds plus i have autonomic dysfunction also. Be sure to tell your dr about this. My nl told me its has something to do with the blood vessels cuttin off circulation? Keep us updated.

  Hi...do u get the blue fingers and toes when u r cold?

It can be Raynauds Phenomenon or it can be that u also have a related issue called POTS....this should be looked at b4 u have surgery as it can affect ur recovery....Do call ur Drs and tell them asap so they can decide what to do, but this should be addressed b4 ur surgery. JMHO
