umm scary. Do not leave the ice on there longer than would be necessary,if your body isn't responding as it should then the ice will make it worse,damaging the nerves further, if they are damaged.
But then I am not fit to diagnose. I would go to a doctor asp.
RSD is a very rare syndrome and I am sure you don't have it but if it isn't responding to ice I wouldn't do it, but I hate to say that because,what the hell do I know.
I am only over reacting or reaching because of what happened to my sister.
Here is information on the problem of ice if the nerves are damaged.

The problem is ice is standard procedure for injuries, and no one can assume that it would develop into something else. When does one say, or doctors say, if the ice isn't working then stop? Hopefully when you go to see a doctor they don't go a head and ice it after you tell them icing it doesn't work, but if it is swollen they will. If there is something else wrong with it then every time you kill the pain with ice without bringing the swelling down there is nerve damage.
I don't mean to be an alarmist but what if I didn't say anything at all. I guess it is just something to watch for. If it doesn't get better, ( but I am sure it will) then at least you won't be guessing for months like most people do with nerve damage.
?
go get an x ray, maybe it is broken
