Firstly fingers may turn white and cool; they then may turn a bluish colour, and finally a bright red, causing tingling, throbbing and pain. It is not in all cases that people will go through this exact colour change, but they may still develop bouts of uncomfortable, pale, cold fingers, the duration lasting from minutes to hours. Nerve symptoms such as numbness) and/or tingling in one or more fingers may also develop, possibly leading to clumsiness and difficulty in doing intricate tasks. Aches and pains indicating minor damage to the muscles, joints and bones may also reduce the strength of your grip.
