It sounds to me like your pain originates from your spine, and you should have diagnostic injections along your spine – your lumbar spine to find out the offending or impinged nerves. It sounds similar to me and I’ve had surgery lumbar surgery because I have disc degeneration and it solves things for a while, years. But now the burning pins and needles numbness and all that stuff returned. I’m too early for another lumbar surgery with deterioration outside of The attended to area and I don’t wanna pump my body full of more Cortizone. The only answer was to up my exercise! That did help two months on a stationary bike in the morning for about an hour hour and a half has allowed me to get back to sleeping at night and minimalize the pain. There’s a variety of pains, some originate from my spine and others are arthritic in my ankles feet and big toe. Some of this depends on the weather my arthritis aggravates me a lot during barometric pressure change. Continue seeing doctors. I recommend that a good orthopedic surgeon. Be the head of your umbrella and get a plan of care working with other doctors and continue to go back to your orthopedic surgeon a few times a year. There is hope and never give up on that hope. I suggest staying away from ibuprofen as it’s really damaging to your body and I ended up in the hospital very early on 20 years ago. Only then was I put on light opioid where I stay till this day and it’s very stabilizing for the pain I can’t get rid of Parentheses cause you can only have so many surgeries) and the biggest focus is keeping my body strong at 68.

My MRI of spine is actually good and no doctor ever said it's causing problem. Also, I don't have back pain.
