Hello
Thank you for trusting HCM
Dear nothing to worry How old are you??
Have you suffering from diabetes or long standing pain in lower limb.
Dear your symptoms mostly my point of view suggestive of venous reflux.
Hot and burning leg skin is often caused when leg veins do not properly circulate blood back towards the heart. Sometimes, leg veins fail and the blood that does not properly circulate to the heart often pools and remains in the leg. The excess blood in the failed veins then makes the veins swell, and the swollen veins can leak blood and fluid into the surrounding tissue of the leg.
But you also complaining of back pain possibly it may be due to back muscle spasm or lumbar spondylosis. Take physiotherapy and exercise may useful. Simple pain killers may also useful.
You just examined joints of your leg and nerves conduction.
what about the venous system or arterial system??
please get examined color Doppler of lower limb and consult your general surgeon/vascular surgeon they will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care
