This happens mostly in my right foot, and have noticed it since about a month ago. Has been cropping up along about once or twice a week until about a week or so ago during that time, but then had a resurgence in it tonight. First small toe on right foot goes numb and white on and off, and often when I get cold, but it doesn't absolutely have to be the case. Move it some, and maybe within ten minutes to about 3/4 of an hour, it will be fine again. Now tonight, with below freezing temperatures, I ran outside briefly, not wanting to stop to put on socks for a quick run to empty trash in garage. Upon my return a minute later to the house, that same toe was white and numb, and normally would only be on the bottom, but this time was also on the top, along with being stiff as well. Perhaps should have stopped to put on socks before even making a short trip out there in the cold. In any case, within about a half hour when I got in the shower, it was fine again. However, while drying off and pulling my toes apart on that foot to get in between them, the next little toe over to it got both white and stiff in terms of locking up while I was drying myself off. Then it stopped not more than a minute later. I am 45, female and have a bit of a high blood pressure issue, which I take 2.5 mg of amlodipine for. I happen to be allergic and/or sensitive to a lot of meds, so this is all I take right now. Have been told I'm perimenopausal also, and as far as blood pressure goes, it jumps around, if this has anything to do with this, depending on stress levels, whether I'm working or not, and other factors, I'm sure. I'm also coming down with a bit of a cold right now, so
