During winter time my feet turn blue/black/purple. Luckily when I wake up in the morning it's back to normal. I am scared of gangrene though. I bought "thermal socks", but no results. The doctor said surgically there is nothing they can do for me. Is there anyone else with the same problem?

HIGHLY doubt that you'll get gangrene....you'd have to have prolonged lack of circulation & is actually most often caused by an infection.
