In this condition, there is pain and numbness in the hands and arms due to prolonged use of vibrating tools, which causes repeated damage to blood vessels and nerves.
Symptoms often also include blue or white coloration of the fingers, tingling in affected areas, and difficulty manipulating small objects. It may also cause Raynaud’s.
There is no specific treatment, but avoiding the use of vibrating tools can help prevent the condition from worsening. Medication may also sometimes be prescribed.
