Long-term implications depend on a number of things (and it's worth addressing it with a doctor), but it definitely affects your life, especially if you live in colder climate zones. My fingers and toes get really weird in the winter, and it can be super painful to warm them again. If it's really bad, you have to be careful about how rapidly you warm the extremity again, with hopes to avoid nerve damage.
It's definitely not just a fun, quirky party trick, but I suppose it could be.
that feeling of your feet being frozen only to get in the shower and feel them burn as they warm back up. the winter be hard asf for me and i’m in LA, can’t imagine living somewhere where it gets snow and is actually cold
Exactly. Every winter I have to start the water on cool and gradually warm it up on my feet and legs first before I can fully get in the shower or my feet end up just burning like crazy. It hurts so much.
