About 3 days ago one of my finger on my
left hand became swollen and painfull, it
turned blue and purple and then white and
I lost feeling in it briefly. It went
away and then again the next day came back
only worse this time. I went to emergency
only to wait 6 hours without seeing a
doctor. I decided to go home. Should I
be concerned with this condition and what
possibly could be the cause for this?

Bad Blood Circulation Posted: 12-03-03 00:21am
Im no doctor but I would certainly think
that there is poor blood circulation in
the finger. Turning blue and purple
indicates high pressure of blood causing
sensitive nerves and then turning white
indicates low blood pressure of blood
causing low sensitivity. It is something
you should check if you want to save your
finger, either you are trapping the blood
from flowing by wearing a ring or such, or
the blood vessel is being clogged.
