Hello I just read your query and I understand your concern about metoprolol and the leg pain you experience due to it.
Yes,Metoprolol does cause cold extremities in 1% of patients taking them which leads to Raynaud's phenomenon that means spasm of the arteries supplying the legs which causes pain in some patients.
I am not aware as to why you need this medicine in your case .
Maybe you can ask for an alternative drug rather than stopping it altogether.
Hope this solves your query.
