Exactly how cold am I trying to get my arm, or any other injured body part, when I put ice on it?

I have an imprisoned ulnar nerve that I’m still working on. The nerve is caught in the funny bone area of my arm.

I do exercises and I put ice on it for about 30 minutes every night.

I have a wrap that has some bead things in it that I freeze. It has separate compartments. One side has a thin, cloth, velvet-like covering, the other is just clear plastic. I used to use the cloth side, but it seems to work better when I use the plastic side.

But my elbow gets SO cold it hurts. Is that good or bad?
