So I understand acute frostbite can cause nerve damage but can a distal appendage repeatedly exposed to the cold get nerve damage?
My symptoms started in February during a rather cold winter. I spent many times outdoors in Crocs sandals during sub 40 degree temps. My core was dressed warm but unfortunately I didn't take care of my feet. To be 100% transparent I'm a competitive archer and practice outside almost daily. I was shooting a lot during this time. I wonder if the cause of my PN symptoms are from repeated exposure to the cold. I obviously didn't experience frostbite but maybe I suffered some nerve damage? Sorry mom I'll wear socks next time |

Repeated cold exposure even without frostbite can cause damage. This is a problem for surfers sometimes too.

Being that you have problems only on one side, I'd doubt it's from the cold...unless of course, you wore socks on one foot...
Seriously though, I think you would have had pain at the time and noticed problems from the start if the damage was from the cold. |

Not saying that was the reason for symptoms just that technically cold can cause damage. So keep those tootsies warm next winter!
We do have a "one sock club" over on the CRPS forum. |

If you only have issues on one side, have you looked into shingles?
