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.
