Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I have studied your case.
Possibility could be lumbar canal stenosis leading to burning sensation and cold feet.
Due to compression of this nerve root there can be burning sensation.
I will advise you to do MRI spine
For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and TENS therapy will give quick relief.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level and haemoglobin.

Vascular claudication can also lead to burning leg and cold feet.
Colour Doppler leg may help in diagnosis.
