They feel extreme pain and can still move it during the first stages of gangrene. Later on, the affected appendage gradually grows numb, from the outside in.
Gangrene doesn't always spread, it depends on the source of the infection. Sometimes the appendage(especially individual fingers and toes) will just "fall off", and leave the rest of the body unharmed.
