Hello
Welcome to Ask a Doctor service
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Such cold digits could be nonspecific or it might be due to some local compression of arm area, if the symptom persist then it has to be ruled out for cervical spine disease and for that you have to get done the CT of cervical spine, just wait for some time, some nonspecific type of condition will come around soon.
Hope I have answered your query, let me know for further assistance.
