Consider RLS?: The change of skin temperature would be an unusual presentation of neurological origin. Organic causes should be investigated, such as lower spine narrowing and nerve root compression, neuropathy, and restless leg syndrome. Metabolically the causes may include iron deficiency, abnormal level of potasium, magnesium, and other lites. Reumatoid, anemia, and pregnancy are on the list as well.
