Hello,
We have to rule out possible causes like peripheral vascular disease and neuropathic causes.
As a first line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Detailed evaluation is required including vascular Doppler and nerve conduction study.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
