Brief Answer:
May be nerve or ARTERY problem, please have both tested

Detailed Answer:
Dear patient,

a possibility is that your arteries do not allow to let enough blood pass through, which may be checked for with duplex ultrasound.
Another possible cause is nerve illness such as so called polyneuropathy, a damage of small nerve endings. This can get checked for with neurological testing like vibrating tests.

Best regards
