CHRONIC, SHARP PAIN IN MY TOES WHEN I FEEL COLD, PLEASE HELP!!!!

Have you had your peripheral circulation tested? Also grasp your forefoot on either side and squeeze if that produces pain it could be a trapped Nerve between the heads of the metatarsals (Mortens Neuroma) or arthritic spur between the toes. Final thought would be unusual appearance of Sciatic type pain. Is there any colour change in the toe when it is painful. Does it go white / red? Nerve conduction would rule out peripheral neuropathy, but you could check B12 and Diabetes.

What tests have been done?

Have you tried Capacin Cream from your GP? It contains cayenne pepper, wear latex gloves when applying it. I am not sure whether you may have PN as it does not matter what the temperature is, PN is not seasonal.

I have the same thing. Pain in the bottom my toes when the weather turns cold. Its called chilblains. Its usually not serious just annoying. Google chilblains and look at the pictures of the bottom of your toes or wherever you feel the pain.

I'm a w/m, 60yoa. I recently read a book, "The Plant Paradox" that talks about rheumatoid arthritis and the foods that can cause / aggravate rheumatoid arthritis. I'm still in relatively early stages of Idiopathic (unknown cause - I'm neither pre nor full out diabetic) Peripheral Neuropathy - diagnosed in 2013, partial numbness just into upper ankles / lower calves. I have no pain and no tingling. All my bloods come back "in range" but I've decided to take the diet portion into my own hands via 80% cutback on bread (sugar), 80 % cutback on added granular sugar, 90% cutback on soft drinks, 85% cutback on red meat (just for he heck of it) and I quit taking my cholesterol medicine (I read where cholesterol fighting statins may lead to neuropathy - my Doc concurs but says if that is the case there should be an elevated marker in my blood test - but there is not.) Also quit my reflux medicine. I have lower back problems (bulging discs, arthritis in outer facet joints of back, and narrowing of the nerve canal (stenosis) for those same joints, Anyway., awaiting more blood work results and next step is said to be a spinal tap, and if that doesn't show anything, then a nerve biopsy out of foot. I've had some glyphosphates spilled on me via weed killers from time to time, and I'm putting my money on that as the cause. I can still run, hike, etc, but have apparent wasting in lower calves. SHORT TERM (a couple of weeks) lack of exercise - then restart - results in sore calf muscles as if I had not worked out in a couple of months. Concerned that the lack of nutrients getting to muscles in feet and lower calves will make me more susceptible to bone fractures.

Anyway, counting my blessings after reading some of these other posts, but waiting on the same thing to happen to me - unless they can diagnose and treat effectively. Currently seeing a local neurologist but going to seek another at Barne's etc., if no luck. Not going down without a fight. Good luck to all and God Bless. Speaking of which, I'll also be praying.
