Hello,
As first-line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
We have to rule out possible causes like peripheral vascular diseases.
If symptoms persist better to consult a surgeon and plan for an arterial Doppler.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
