hi,

thank you for providing the brief history of you.

A thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised.

As mentioned by you about the symptoms of pain, burning sensation and numbness a thorough detailed neuromuscular assessment is a must. Post which an MRI of the cervical and lumbar spine will be performed as to which will help us to understand the extent of the soft tissue Injury and the nerve impingement. The symptoms you are mentioning is direct towards the pinched nerve. So for getting a closer confirmed look an MRI is needed.

Also, after all these, Medication for pain relief and physical therapy like - Therapeutic ultrasound therapy, TENS therapy and exercises like - Strengthening the muscles of the neck, back, core, lower limb and upper limb will be advised to ensure the stability of the spine and reduce the symptoms of pain, numbness and burning sensation

As in my clinical practice this cases seems common to look for and post thorough neuromuscular assessment and MRI a treatment plan is programmed which helps us to help them with 99% success.

I expect the same 99% recovery from you to.
