Brief Answer:
No.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms and would like to point out that a pinched nerve in the neck would not lead to symptoms on the face.

A pinched nerve in the neck can cause neck pain, pain in the arm, tingling or burning in arm, etc.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
