Hello,
The pain is due to neuropathic causes. As a first line management, you can try analgesics like gabapentin or oxycodone which are quite effective in similar conditions.
If pain persists, better to consult an orthopaedic and plan for a steroid injection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
