Good Morning,
Without asking a million questions and just what you've mentioned... I would consider Castor Packs across the abdomen as suggested by Edgar Cayce. Because of the Hands and Feet thing the first thing that comes to my mind is Circulation. There are many ways to improve this. Like taking Cayenne Powder in capsules and if that bothers you tummy eat an apple with it. This will absolutely stop any stomach burning. The benefit of this is also a heart tonic. With a daily dose of Cayenne you should never have a heart problem. Back to the Castor packs. I know this sounds funny but they work. To clear the congestion would benefit your entire body.
(Q) What causes the numbness and tingling sensation of my right arm, shoulders, and fingers?
(A) This unbalanced circulation in the central circulation, see? (2772-4)
(Q) ...sharp pains in legs and stomach?
(A) These are from the poor circulation... (3580-1)
Cayce on Causes of Impaired Circulation
A change in circulation was frequently mentioned as being the primary cause of physical disturbances. There were also other conditions mentioned that could themselves cause a change in circulation. There are several recurrent themes in the Cayce readings as to the cause of a changed or impaired circulation.
Spinal imbalance was given frequently as one such cause. For example:
(Q) What is causing the swelling on the little toe on my right foot?
(A) Poor circulation from the 4th lumbar center.
(Q) What causes the wheeze on my chest that I get occasionally?
(A) As indicated..... pressure in the 4th dorsal -- that makes for a slowing of the circulation through the thorax...... (1101-4)
Through subluxation or strain in the 2nd and 3rd cervical, the 2nd and 3rd dorsal.. we find there is the impairment to the circulation. (685-1)
An excess of acids in the system was also often mentioned as a cause of altered circulation. It's mentioned in these instances:
(Q) What causes rheumatism in my right arm?
(A) The effect of acids in the system, producing pressure in the circulation.... (5541-1)

CASTOR OIL PACKS
WHAT IS A CASTOR OIL PACK?
A castor oil pack is an external application of castor oil. A piece of wool flannel is saturated in castor oil and applied to the abdomen with a heating pad. The Cayce readings recommend castor oil packs to improve assimilation's, eliminations and circulation (especially of the lymphatic system). Although this therapy may seem unusual, it is one of the best documented of the Cayce therapies. Dr. William McGarey has applied castor oil packs to treat many conditions.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR CASTOR OIL PACKS
To Make The Pack
Take the piece of wool flannel and fold it into 3 thicknesses. Put it in a pan (like a large disposable baking pan) and pour castor oil on it. Saturate the whole flannel, and leave it until it is well-saturated. When you use it, you want it saturated, but not dripping. The size you want for use is about 12 x 18 inches - about the same size as your heating pad, so that the pad heats the whole pack, but does not touch your skin. After each use, you will probably need to add a little more castor oil. You can use the pack many times. When you're not using it, you can store it in a plastic bag in the refrigerator.
Where To Place The Pack
This will depend on what the problem is. In general, it should be on the right side of the body, extending from a little above the bottom of the sternum (breastbone) to about 4 inches below the navel. It should go from the navel around the body on the right side as far to the side as you can get it. Basically, cover as much of your right side as you can.
Using The Pack
Use the pack in the evening, as you are resting before bed. Spread out a large plastic garbage bag on the bed so that the castor oil won't leak onto the bed. Fold a towel (that you will use only for castor oil packs, because the oil is almost impossible to wash out completely). Take the cloth cover off the heating pad. Then put the heating pad on top of the towel.
The readings say that it is important to heat the pack before you put it on yourself. One way is to heat it in the oven on a "low" temperature setting. Another is to heat it in a microwave oven (in a microwave-safe container) for about one minute. Another way is to put the pack on top of the heating pad and turn the pad on high. Let it warm up for a few minutes.
Lie down on your back on the plastic bag. Place the pack on your abdomen, with the heating pad on top and the towel on top of that. Have the heating pad control within easy reach of your hand, because you may need to adjust it so the pack is not too hot or too cold. It should be very warm, but not so hot it burns you. Be careful! If you're not sure how hot is safe, start with a slightly warm session and work up to a warmer one. If it's not warm enough, it may help to rest your arms and hands on the towel to press the pack onto your body.
Keep the pack on for 1 to 1 ½ hours. Have a paper towel handy to wipe the oil off yourself when you get up, and be careful not to get any on the bed. Make up a solution of baking soda in warm water (2 teaspoons to a quart), and use paper towels or a sponge with the baking soda solution to clean off the castor oil. You might also want to take a shower with soap after that.
Use the pack for 3 days in a row. Then take a break for 4 days, and repeat.
After 3 Days Of Using The Pack
On the evening of the 3rd day, take olive oil (not castor oil!) by mouth. Begin with about a teaspoon. If you feel OK, you can take up two tablespoons.

Buerger's disease
Definition
Thromboangiitis obliterans is a disease that causes obstruction of the blood vessels of the hands and feet.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top
Thromboangiitis obliterans (Buerger's disease) is caused by vasculitis, which is an inflammation of blood vessels. Inflammation is irritation with presence of extra immune cells.
The blood vessels of the hands and feet are especially affected, becoming constricted or totally blocked. This reduces blood flow to the tissues of hands and feet, resulting in pain and eventually damage.
Thromboangiitis obliterans affects approximately 6 out of every 10,000 people. It almost always affects men 20 to 40 years of age who have a history of smoking or chewing tobacco.
The condition may also be associated with a history of Raynaud's disease. This disorder is very uncommon in children, but may occur in those with autoimmune diseases.
Symptoms
Pain in the hands and feet
Acute, severe
Burning or tingling
Often occuring at rest
Pain in the legs, ankles, or feet when walking (intermittent claudication)
Often located in the arch of the foot
Skin changes or ulcers on hands or feet
Hands or feet may be pale, red, or bluish
Hands or feet may feel cold
Note: Symptoms may worsen with exposure to cold or with emotional stress. Usually, two or more limbs are affected.
