Is it nerve, muscle or something else pain?

blue717, God bless you. This sounds miserable.
The key words I take away were "on fire and tingling". Typically, these are symptoms of nerve pain. Has
sciatica flare been mentioned to you? This is horrible pain and can be treated with muscle relaxants, Tylenol
and heat. It can radiate down from your hips into your legs. Just some thoughts.
I personally, would see someone else in another pain clinic and get another opinion. Have you been to an
Orthopedic Doctor? Does heat help at all? Have you tried Voltaren gel for the pain? Talked to your doctor before trying it. It has helped me tremendously with Fibromyalgia & Osteoarthritis pain.
Cortisone shots have worked great for my knees & shoulders with osteoarthritis. I realize they are not for everybody.
Praying for you to get relief. Blessings....

Yes, sciatica has been mentioned several times but no one does anything if you dont want to the shots which are bad for you especially if you have osteoarthritis, since it thins bone, along with other side affects. Your thoughts are helpful. I hadn't thought of going to an Ortho in years but something to consider. Good Thought! Lately I have been sitting in the pool in a tube and the cool water helps. Heat does not. I bought Voltaren but the product said not to use it on your back. Thank you for your thoughts and taking the time to write. I hope you also find relief
