Hello and welcome to Healthcamagic.
It still can be bad circulation even without tumbness and may indicate both venous or arterial insufficiency si she should do Doppler ultrasound as soon as possible,take Aspirin100mg daily and elastic compresses. She should take diclofenac for pain.
I hope I have answered your query. I wish you a nice day.
