No: Cervical disc herniations result in pain radiating into the arms with the nerve roots arising from the spinal cord. Sometime may result in body tingling. Facial pain, numbness and tingling are a result on cranial nerves that arise directly from the brain . At this time i would recommend that you see a pcp to begin an evaluation to establish the correct diagnosis and then a correct treatment plan.

Arms and legs, maybe: The head and face are innervated by nerves that exit the skull directly, and do not course through the spine. For this reason, head and facial parasthesias could not be caused by disc herniations. Disc herniations can cause nerve compression which could lead to arm symptoms, and spinal cord compression which could lead to arm and leg symptoms. You should see a spine surgeon to discus treatment.
