I recently have had really cold hands and cuts take a long time to heal.
I am not diabetic. Went to the doctor, he said the one of my arteries was not working past my wrist. Did an angiogram, checks blood flow, and confirmed the findings. Gonna have surgery to fix it in FEB. Doctor said IMPACT TO THE PALM CAUSED THE INJURY. He is a hand specialist and says he sees it a lot on car mechanics. Bottom line, use the correct tools, do not use your hands to force things in place. It pains me to think of how many times I installed a hub caps with my palms as the hammer. This has been a very painful lesson for me and I hope to help some of you by sharing my experience. George |
