Hello
You might be suffering from Herpes Zoster.
It is a condition affecting the nerves and usually affects the nerves of a particular part of body leading to unilateral burning sensation and pain.
I would like to know, do you have only burning sensation or is there development of lesions too ?
Usually Herpes zoster is associated with development of rash and pain.
Let me know, so I can help you better.
Thank you

Hello
Thanks for follow up.
Sometimes Zoster may present only with unilateral pain.
I usually prescribe capsule gabapentene and pregabaline to my patients and they get good relief with treatment.
Please meet your doctor and discuss regarding these medications.
Thank you
