Reason For Burning Sensation In Thumb Without Bruises?

Hi,
I have a burning sensation in the right thumb for the past 4 days and now I can feel pain in my thumb. This started with a numb feeling a week ago and now this is the condition. There is no bruises or anything on the skin. What is the problem? What is the remedy?

Help appreciated.

Tingling sensation can be caused by nerve compression at wrist , elbow or neck. I just want to know if this burning sensation occurs all the time or at certain time like night. At present since your pain is since few days my advice to you is pregabalin and methylcobal. If your pain increases you can take advice from a neurologist. At this time you can just take above mentioned medicine.
