When a disk moves out of place, it can compress a nerve and cause a burning pain. It may also cause numbness or muscle weakness. Mononeuropathy is a group of conditions that can cause damage to a single nerve. The affected nerve may be anywhere in the body, but it's most often in the face or neck. We cannot know if this the case with you, so a doctor's evaluation is needed. Until then, ice can help with inflammation, heat can soothe soreness. Ibuprophen or Aleve can be helpful (if you can safely take these).
