Just read there has been some research that a moderate increase in coffee say 3 cups a day may help. Is this a re herring. Also is the drug Cilostazol useful in reducing the pain Presume this is a prescription drug and is it worth asking about at the doctors?

it’s worth asking a pharmacist. Your doctor’s surgery may, with other local surgeries, employ a pharmacist in the practice so you could ask the docs receptionist - now called care navigators.
