Hello!
For some people, the pain and sensitivity can take a few weeks before it completely goes away.
If you do not have any known health problem (ex: diabetes, circulation problems, etc.) I would advise you to observe the evolution of your pain for another week or two and if the pain and sensitivity symptoms persist, I would consult a doctor.
In the meantime, if the pain is so bad that you need to take a medication, acetaminophen or ibuprofen would be good choices to help you, making sure that you have no contraindications (taking medication, health problems, allergies, pregnancy).
I hope that I have answered your question correctly!
With pleasure
