Hello,
As a first line management, you can take analgesics like Paracetamol or Aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult a general surgeon and plan for a vascular Doppler to rule out possible causes like the peripheral vascular disease.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
