Suggest Treatment For Severe Burning Sensation On Back And Legs

I am having severe burning places on my back and legs. There is no sign of it visually but, under the skin it feels like fire.
I have a couple of disc bulges in my lower back so I have numbness on my outer upper thigh. I have had it for years.
Hoping to find the answer. Thank you

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to nerve compression syndrome from intervertebral disc prolapse on lumbo sacral area. Examination by an orthopaedician followed by an x ray and MRI of lumbo sacral spine will be helpful to rule out the condition. For such conditions in my patients I would recommend NSAIDs like aceclofenac, muscle relaxants like cyclobenzaprine and neurotropic drugs like pregabalin and methylcobalamine.I also advise physiotherapy like TENS and muscle strengthening exercises along with this. Using lumbar corsets will be helpful also.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
