If you've ever played sports in the very cold air you know the feeling well. Vibration of a bat or club in your hands can be agonizing.

Also, if you ever have gotten frostbite or near frostbite you know the searing pain that happens as blood comes back into your fingers and toes.

Anyway, my neuropathy has started to feel like this constantly. Any minor impact to my hands and fingers produces a searing pain that is exactly like described above. And at rest if feels exactly the same as when your recovering from frostbite or near frostbite.

I wonder if my problem is lack of blood flow to the nerves or something similar? Anyone have this problem?
