Hello,
Most probably it will be peripheral vascular disease.
As a first line management you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persists better to consult a general surgeon and plan for a vascular Doppler.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
