Yes, Rafa said there's edema (swelling) on his back.

He said he had felt something, though minor, at Canada last year. They need to look into it and be careful

I cannot imagine -30 degrees. The most we ever get around here (Chile) is, I don't know, -5 I guess. Most people do not have heat in their houses though, so it can feel really cold.
