General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,

You may be having a compressed nerve or nerve impingement. You can go for an MRI scan to assess the extent of the injury and its severity.

As of now, you can take analgesics like Gabapentin which is quite effective for neuropathic pain as in your case.

You can consult a neurologist after an MRI scan.

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