Hi Brian
Hope this message finds you in good health.
I have gone through your complaints and understand your concern.
You are right,u seem to have this neuritic pain,that usually occurs due to swelling and inflammation of a nerve. But cutting it is not the solution. U simply may take some local steroid injection that will reduce inflammation and pain. Also get an Xray done to find out whats wrong.
Nothing to worry about.
I hope your question has been answered.
If you have any follow-up queries,feel free to consult me anytime.
Thanks,Take care,God bless.
