Let me get one thing straight though… Even if Bucky didn’t have innervation in his arm (aka he couldn’t feel anything other than just pressure, ergo couldn’t feel the arm being blown off) he most definitely felt the searing hot metal that was attached to his fucking shoulder. The metal was glowing red hot where it got blown off. Like if you leave the end of a spoon over an open flame and then grab the other end you still burn the shit out of your hand. So imagine your entire shoulder/biceps is made out of metal and the end of it is so hot that it’s glowing red. You don’t think the skin and bone and muscle it’s attached to wont be burning? Like imagine hot metal touching your bones. Bone pain is literally some of the worst kind of pain you can feel and Bucky had searing hot metal attached to his bones. And beyond that it’s still burning his skin, his ligaments, and his muscles. It’s beyond just burning your hand on a hot object because the metal is integrated into his shoulder. And worst of all he can’t get the thing off. He can’t drop the hot spoon because it’s part of him.

So yeah tell me again that Bucky wasn’t in excruciating pain after that

Also! Theres no way he could do 90% of the shit he does with that arm if it wasn’t anchored well beyond what we can see, there has to be metal extending farther under the skin. So that shit would be heated up much deeper than just his shoulder, probably as far as the middle of his chest. Hell, he was probably lucky his heart didn’t get cooked. And imagine having metal near (possibly over) your lungs being super heated.

Plus, its not a magic psychic arm, you can’t just pop on a fabricated limb and move is like he does. Its got to have some sort of cybernetic attachment to the brain (people have pointed out the blood coming from his nose/mouth isnt present before the arm comes off, and is consistent with having something connected to your brain fucked right the hell up). I don’t know how any of that shit would work, but if its wiring thats in any way metal.

Really, it wasn’t just ‘losing his arm’ or even just excruciating pain. With the metal probably over vital organs being super heated, and that shit being attached to his brain, its a miracle he survived.

You both fuck off

also, there is a good chance there was much more of his physical arm than what we see in the end of the movie.

in one of bucky’s flashbacks, where he is being dragged to the labs after the fall, we see his arm from his POV & by the looks of it, it actually got cut off just above the elbow, leaving most of his upper arm intact. with how ungodly heavy that metal arm was & because it needed so much body to anchor too (again just look at how heavily anchored to his shoulder it is), plus more nerve endings to connect too which would likely produce better results. 

so i’m pretty sure hydra probably didn’t cut off that much of his arm. they would only need to further amputate whatever was infected/frost bit, if at all. his arm was still bleeding & he obviously hadn’t died of exsanguination yet plus in what is probably below freezing weather, his arm probably hadn’t had time to get infected. at most they probably amputated the dead flesh leaving him with most of his arm intact.

it would also explain why the bicep of his metal arm is so much larger than his real arm, where as the rest of his metal arm is actually rather proportional with his real arm & his body. it’s because it’s actually built on top of his remaining arm & instead of just a metal support.

byt then when tony blasts his arm off, it clearly goes well up his bicep, to the point where later on it either just ended there or it had to be amputated even further up his arm. which means that, if any of this is correct, tony likely blew off what little remained of bucky’s arm under the prosthetic.
