I just wanted to add something the coldness is a symptom of CRPS.

What is Complex Regional Pain Syndrome?
The affected part can become hypersensitive. Touching, bumping, or exposing the limb to temperature changes may cause severe pain. Muscle atrophy, or wasting, can result, if the patient stops using the limb because of the pain.
There may also be:
Changes in skin temperature, with the skin becoming sweaty at times, and cold and clammy at others
Changes in skin color, causing blotches or streaks, ranging from very pale to pink, and perhaps even with a blue tinge
Thin and shiny skin texture
Unusually fast or slow nail and hair growth
Painful, stiff and inflamed joints.
Mobility may also be reduced, as patients find it hard to move the affected part.
