When hiking or running, it is usually my hands that cause me the most issues. While I can sometimes end up with fatigued legs or hiking injuries, the most common problem, in both summer and winter, is cold hands.
The main reason for my hand problems is Raynaud’s Syndrome, which causes them to go numb and for my fingers turn white. Numb hands are a nuisance, plus there is the inevitable pain when the blood returns to the fingers. Prolonged numbness has the potential to cause frostbite, too.
