Few options: First, make sure you don't have anything serious going on with your blood vessels or hip joint that needs treatment. If you've had some nerve damage from procedures there are different medications that can help, such as gabapentin, which is a commonly used nerve pain medicine. There are also topical medicine options. You may be best off seeing a pain specialist.

Address neuroma: An anesthesiologist who specializes in pain would be one to consult. Injecting lidocaine into the presumed neuroma should give instant relief, but lasts only a few hours. That would confirm the diagnosis and predict response to radio frequency neurolysis (RF). RF can then be used to give months of relief.
