Hello,
The pain may not be related to BP recording and can b due to some other causes. As a first line of management you can take analgesics like acetaminophen or Tramadol for pain relief. If pain persists, better to consult a neurologist for any possible neuropathic pain.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
