Call the doctor: There is nothing in your question that implies life threatening emergency. If you have no other symptoms i think you can wait. Fever, chest pain, or other intolerable pain...Then yes go to er. If just a nerve sensation of burning, then this can be managed by the family doctor.

I don't see it as: An emergency but if ur concerned, go to an urgent care instead and it's more cost effective. Ur symptom could be from nerve inflammation, stress or psychological etc.Follow up with ur dr for a thorough exam. Take care! http://orthoinfo.Aaos.Org/topic.Cfm?Topic=a00340.
