Good morning! I've been involved with cold injured veterans for over 5 years now, as my thank you to you for all you have done for us. Many of you who served in the Korean War, especially during the years of 1950 to 1951 and into 1952 and are having problems with your legs and feet should really be checked to see if you have any residuals of cold injury. I will be happy to email you with information on this condition. Its really important if you do have any problems with your legs and feet and are having the burning cramping pains in your legs, especially at night to be checked.
Cold injury consists of freezing injury and non-freezing injury, both can cause injury to the nerves in your legs and feet. Peripheral neuropathy is one of the conditions associated with cold injury. If you feel you may have this condition, contact a local service officer or DAV representative (VFW, American Legion, all the reputable affiliates with service officers) and be checked.
