Maybe: This is likely raynauds disease. Have the issue evaluated by a rheumatologist to rule out other causes, any underlying diseases and decide if any treatment is needed.

Raynaud's: This is called Raynaud's and often can be controlled by avoiding cold exposure. On the other hand, this may also be one of the symptoms of a rheumatologic (autoimmune) condition since you do suffer from aches as well. Consult a rheumatologist
