Hello,
Nerve pain is usually helped by nerve pills. Literally any pill that drops down nerve activity. Anti-epileptics are the drugs of choice (Gabapentin, maybe Pregabalin). If the pain is close enough to the surface then Lidocaine will work. Drugs with Lidocaine like effects also often helps. Amitryptiline is the most commonly used.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
