Frostnip & Frostbite

We are about to experience some major cold weather here in NE OHIO. Cold winter temps can be tough on your feet and toes. The two most common cold-related injuries we see are frostnip and frostbite.

🧊 Frostnip
This is the earliest and mildest form of prolonged cold injury. Skin may feel cold, numb, tingly, pale, or red—but there’s no permanent tissue damage if treated promptly with warming.

🧊 Frostbite
This is more serious and occurs when skin and underlying tissues freeze. Symptoms include numbness, hard or waxy skin, color changes (white, gray, or blue), swelling, and blistering. Frostbite can cause permanent damage if not treated quickly.

⚠️ Who’s at higher risk?
• Prolonged exposure to cold;
• Remain in wet socks or shoes;
• Those who have Diabetes, poor circulation, neuropathy, raynauds;
• If you currently smoke or have a history of smoking.

🧤 Prevention Tips
• Wear insulated, waterproof shoes;
• Keep feet dry—change wet socks ASAP;
• Use thick, warm, moisture-wicking socks;
• Take breaks indoors frequently;
• If you are feeling any of the above symptoms in your feet or toes, get in doors ASAP.

🦶🏻 What to Do
• Get indoors and warm feet gradually (no direct heat like heaters or hot water)
• Do not rub numb or frozen skin
• Seek medical care for blistering, severe pain, or persistent numbness

If you notice changes in skin color, sensation, or healing—don’t ignore your feet this winter. Early care makes a big difference.

Stay warm & stay inside if possible! 🧦❄️

On the Run (on sidelines for a few more weeks) with Dr. Tomsho: Pericarditis in Runners: Post-Viral Alert

Pericarditis is inflammation of the lining around the heart, often triggered by a recent viral infection. Runners are especially vulnerable if they return to ( or participate in!) intense training too soon.

Watch for:
• Chest pain (worse when lying down)
• Shortness of breath
• Fatigue

Why it matters: Running with pericarditis can lead to serious complications, including heart damage.

What to do: Rest, see a doctor, and only return to training when fully cleared. Your heart needs recovery too. ❤️

Still riding the high from marathon weekend 🏃‍♀️💨—not just from running, but from reading all the stories of grit, growth, and community that come after the finish line.

It’s inspiring to see how running brings us together—from making new friends at the starting line to logging a 1000 miles with a running buddy; whether you’re chasing a PR or cheering from the sidelines- there truly is something special about the running community!

Feeling extra grateful for the amazing running community we have right here in Northeast Ohio. From the Towpath to the CVNP trails, and all the local races that bring us together year after year—there’s something special about this place and the friends who lace up alongside us. 💛👟

Sporting my new Flathead Running Club T-shirt here at the office in Ohio today! 🏔️👟
