I wrote a few of you directly, but wanted to post a general follow-up as well. My name is Steve Choice, and I stupidly gave myself something akin to this problem over the weekend. I sprained my right index finger, so I dunked it in icewater for 5 minutes. It went somewhat numb and got painful. The numbness went away after one night, but the pain has remained, off and on. I was wondering if anyone has had pain that lingers after frostnip/cold exposure? If so, how long did it last? Any feedback would be very welcome. Also, you could e-mail me back if you'd like. It's sechoice@hotmail.com. Thnaks a lot.
