    Hi Sue!  Yes the foot o my operated side was very cold after my knee surgery.  I spoke with my dr and he suggested that How my body was telling me it was in pain.  He increased my pain meds and it subsided and went away.  I think that i have lived with pain so long I tried to ignore or minimize  the pain!!  Worth speaking to your dr about and that is just what I did.  I'd put layers of socks one being my husbands hunting sock and then wrap a heating pad around it, oh my!!  Best wishes, the healing is an ongoing process, keep your chin up!!
