Well i am afraid to mention that this could be multiple sclerosis. MS is episodic disease, remissions are common and also MRI could be normal in first episode.
Back itchiness,burning sensation are atypical symptoms of MS. Current episode of numbness in left leg is all suggestive of MS.
Kindly consult physician and you may need repeat MRI for confirmation. Regular follow up and management is very important for long term prognosis.
