Workup is the only way. Venous ultrasound and ABI (arterial brachial index) are noninvasive. Nerve conduction study would show a problem with large fiber nerves. That said there is a lot of neurovascular overlap that can get tricky to figure out or may not even be possible to if tests don't show anything glaring...
