Can't say: It would be helpful to have more of a description. Where is it? Is it a sharp pain, burning pain, aching pain, throbbing pain. Is it continuous? After the 5 minutes, how long before it returns?Do you get relief with something? Anything make it better or worse? Your description isn't definitive one way or another.
