Get it evaluated: It would be helpful to know the specific nerve involved and the type of damage. I would consider consultations with both an orthopedist and a neurologist for this issue.

Nerve pain: You might benefit from a nerve study to identify the nerve issues. I think you might benefit also from physical therapy, and some medications like anti-seizure medication. Some nerve blocks also can help to relieve the pain. Please see a doctor for evaluation.
