Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It’s a neuropathic pain most probably. As of now you can take analgesics like Gabapentin for pain relief. If pain persists, better to take an MRI scan to look for any nerve impingement.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
