A member asked:
I am in p.t for my neck pain. i have numbness and tingling and burning in the neck when air gets on it. is this a nerve thing and what can be done it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: However, the fact that light touch or air causes burning pain to your face and neck that is odd. If it does not resolve with pt and exercise or gets worse, i would see a pain specialist to rule out anything else. This could be early signs of a rare pain disorder called complex regional pain sydrome or even shingles. However it could be just a herniated disk as well.
