Glad to help, Ewan. It's always worth asking a pharmacist if there is a cheaper generic version of over the counter medicines.

has anyone tested your pulse on your feet? could be a sign of poor circulation to feet. Could try various devices for increasing circulation to feet, could discuss with gp if asprin might help?

could try warming them, warm water, may help with symptom but not cause

sorry for not offering good solutions but i guess its circulation probs

good luck, ? try googling for things that may help
