Hello,
I have studied your case and reports
Canal stenosis leads to burning/numb sensation and pain in your back and leg.
For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.
Epidural steroid shot can help.
Yes you will need MRI.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care

Hello!
Thank you for your question on HCM!
I understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to a nerve disorder, probably caused by a nerve compression by a displaced disk in your lumbar spine.
I agree with your doctors, that a lumbar spine MRI ,besides a careful physical examination and nerve conduction studies would be very helpful to establish the possible diagnosis and the proper therapy.
Regarding the treatment, I would suggest painkillers like ibuprofen and acetaminophen.
If you have already tried this drugs, without the wished effects, I would recommend starting gabapentine or pregabaline.
These drugs have shown very good results in radicular pain with burning component.
Hope to have been of help!
Best wishes,
Dr. Iliri
