Default Can you get in cold water? pool? Ocean?

I have CRPS in hands/arms/feet/legs/face-I know i cant take winter weather or be in airconditioning. I do hot water therapy and if the pool is under 87degrees it sets off my pain. Since i started water therapy my walking and arm movements have improved and my skin sensativity has really improved. I was wandering in time will i be able to get in a cool pool in the summer, or go in the Ocean?
Once you were diagnosed were you ever able to go in a pool or Ocean? Has it changed over time?
I also found that in a hot tub i cant take it too hot(over 100) or it sets me off, or if the temp. outside is really hot(90's) and humid-I feel swollen and ache-anyone else?
