Given the symptoms you report (pain,
burning sensations, numbness, tingling and
muscular atrophy in the left leg) ,you are
probably experiencing compressive
neuropathy caused by spondylotic changes
(discus hernia or osteophytes) of the
lumbar-sacral spine. AneElectro-myo-graphy
(EMG) should be performed to confirm nerve
damage. You can consult a neurosurgeon for
a consultation and to follow up.
