It could be a neuropathic pain as in sciatica. As first-line management, you can take analgesics like gabapentin for pain relief. If symptoms persist you can consult a neurologist and get evaluated. In severe cases, you can opt for a steroid injection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
