It could be a carpel tunnel syndrome initiation. Need to examine the cervical spine throughly and draw conclusions.
Please watch for your posture, ergonomics is very important. Change position after every 30 mins.
Visit a physiotherapist for consult.
Next Steps
Check vitamin B12 levels, low levels interfere with the neural functioning.

Hey there! Since it is only burning sensation and numbness, there is greater possibility of some allergy. Need to check. Whether it's just the hand or arm also involved is required to be known. Please consult online or visit a nearby physician.
