Hi thanks for asking question.
Noted you have burning sensation in leg.
Here if you have pain and burning sensation after some activity like walking then it could be early peripheral vascular disease..
Doppler ultrasound with physical examination helpful If suspected...

Rule out diabetis and hypothyroidism as neuropathy induce by it can lead burning sensation.

Electrolyte imbalance can lead such pain.
So rule it out....

And finally if no above causes present rule out vitamin b12 deficiency....

Hope your concern solved.
Take care.
