Hello,
The possible causes will be peripheral neuropathy or vascular occlusive disorders.
As first-line management, you can take drugs like gabapentin for pain relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult a neurologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
