>How to banish this thing?
Do not seek to banish that what you do not understand. 
First, seek to understand it by categorizing it based on your own terms. 
After you are done categorizing it, think of why it is causing you pain and make sure that the pain is not caused by withdrawal from your body expecting alcohol before bed. 
Try meditating. 
> how to meditate 
Take a bath and light a candle. Sit in a room lit only by the candle and start by feeling all of your joints then slowly activating those joints. 
Then, when you have went through all of your joints, close your eyes, and breathe; in through your nose for as long as possible, then out through your mouth for 2 seconds less than the time I took you to breathe in through your nose. 
Try 3 seconds in, one and a half seconds out before you work your way up. 
LOOK at what you see with your eyes closed. 
Eventually, you will start thinking automatically. 
ALLOW those thoughts to bubble up to the surface. 
Do not ignore them. 
Make a mental note of them, or, if they are simple enough, provide an answer to them in your mind. 
If your ears start ringing, focus on the feeling. 
You will know you’ve broken through and started “fully” meditating when your temples or forehead has a slight “tingle” to it. 
Try to meditate from this state for about 20 minutes. 
Then, when you are done, “pretend” to talk to the “thing.”
Ask the “thing” what it is,
What it wants,
Let it know that it is / might be causing you pain. 
Depending on “what” it is, you may not “hear” a reply; but you may have a “response” queued up for it. Express that response.

> take a bath then*
It does not have to be a bath. A shower would suffice. It is important to have a clean body when dealing with these things.
