RE: Re: Tingling in toes/fingertips

I don't necessarily have tingling in the shower, but I will get tingling from

time to time if I have a flare.  I attribute it to the swelling pressing on

nerves.

 

As was previously mentioned, it could be something like Raynaud's.  Do you

notice changes in the coloration of your digits?  Your blood flow, before the

shower could have been constricted, and the warming effect of the shower would

" open up " the flow, causing some tingling.  I have Raynaud's as well, but never

have experienced tingling...it is more like pain.

With mine, the fingertips become numb and the tingling occurs as they are

" warming " or returning back to normal.

Hi Dorothy,

Sometimes I have tinkling in my fingers, arms, elbows, knees, legs and

feet. It does it about a couple of seconds then it goes somewhere. At

this time I don't what kind of arthritis I have. when I went to a

specialist to see about my tennis elbow I found out that I have

arthritis. It was not a complete shock to me as I had a feeling that I

had it. I can be doing nothing at all and it happens. About a couple of

weeks ago I was sitting in the living room when my elbow made popping

sound. My family was sitting in the living also when it happened and

they heard it too. I am thinking it could have been either the tennis

elbow or the arthriit. Or maybe it was just nothing. The only reason

that I now know for sure that I have arthritis is because they did an

ex-ray of my elbow and arthritis showed up on the ex-ray.
