As well as hand arm vibration syndrome, using power tools can cause a condition called vibration white finger syndrome. This health issue is very closely linked to hand arm vibration syndrome, and shares a lot of its symptoms. However, vibration white finger primarily affects the fingers and hands, and not the arms so much.
One of the main symptoms of vibration white finger is, as the name suggests, whiteness of “blanching” of a person’s fingers. The blanching may start slowly in the fingertips and gradually develop to affect the rest of the fingers the worse the condition gets.
Whiteness in the fingers is often accompanied with numbness and/or pain, and develops due to a loss of blood flow into the fingers due to excessive vibration.
