Hello,
It is not related to your routine drugs.
The possibilities are dehydration and peripheral vascular disease due to poor blood supply. Consult a general surgeon and get a vascular Doppler to assess blood flow. As of now you can take analgesics like Tramadol or Aceclofenac for pain relief.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
