Hello!

Welcome on Healthcaremagic!

The temperature could be related to the urinary tract infection. For this reason, I recommend performing a urine bacterial culture and an urinary tract ultrasound.
Regarding the tightness and burning sensation, I would recommend performing a nerve conduction study to exclude possible neuropathy.
I would also like to directly review your spine MRI for the degree of spinal canal stenosis. Consulting with a spine surgeon may be needed.
Regarding the stiffness, a muscle relaxant (flexeril, baclofen) for a short period of time may be helpful.
Pregabaline or duloxetine could also help improve the pain and burning sensation.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Best wishes, Dr. Aida
