Anyone out there has the same problems I am experience? This first time in years and I'm feeling the cold more than usual. I becoming more stiff in my body.

I am having trouble with my two shoulder blade is so stiff. My physiotherapists can think it's not revelent to my injuries.

Is this experience of just Raynaud's or both? It would really be useful if someone can help me please. Thanks

Hi Bexsam, you may find our Raynaud's information useful: sruk.co.uk/raynauds/what-ra... it details the symptoms to look out for which may help you to understand more about your symptoms.

You mention that you have stiff shoulder blades and it is good that you're seeing a medical practitioner about this. This isn't usually a symptom of Raynaud's but it may be connected to another musculoskeletal condition.

It may be good to read up on how to maintain your wellbeing and to help manage any Raynaud's symptoms that you experience sruk.co.uk/raynauds/managin... Do keep in touch and let us know how you get on. Best wishes.

cold weather and raynaud's go hand in hand. wear warm clothes and gloves and hats and scarf when its cold outside. protect your hands and feet. move to a warmer climate might help. ask about medications for raynaud's like sindelifil, amlodipin, etc ask about pain meds go to a immune specialist. do that right away. i have erythromyalgia which is worse than raynaud's i scream when i touch hot cold or warm water, my hands turn blue, purple, white. turn on the heart in the house, thermal cover for the bed, probiotics, tumerick, helps with immune problems get a through check up from your doctor and referals for a specialist. hope that helps you. hugs for a better day.
