A member asked:
I have one cold finger while the rest of my fingers are normal body temperature?

Cold finger: this could be either a vascular embolic phenomenon, or a neurological compression problem. I would recommend firstly a vascular consultation to evaluate the arterial flow into your hand. Another possible process could be a thoracic outlet syndrome where the could be arterial and nerve compression as the underlying source for this symptom.
