[|AI|]  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 a X-ray done to find out what's 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.
