Excruciating chronic left side neck pain plus lumbar issues

I had i real bad set back last night. I couldn't sleep all night, the meds, the ice pack didn't work.
I feel burning pain, feels like a vulcano erupting. It is around the left of neck bottom, further down and to the left side. My body and face feel as if I have a fever but haven't when I checked my temperature. It is out of control, my all neck is burning on the left, When I sit or lie down I feel a corresponding pain, tightness in the left lower back, groin, leg and foot. The left of my back has no impingement only my right.
What is going on?
I had a CT and bone scan today for neck and thoracic but can't make it because I excruciate when lying down and sit down. I can't stay still.
I have to call my doctor this morning because I don't know what to do. Should I get some physio, osteo or acupuncture? I don't know. I feel quite lost as to what is causing so much burning.

The burning is from the nerve being aggravated..
In 98 before my surgery, I felt like someone was putting a scorching hot iron on my skin. From my L4 the burning went down the side of my hip to the top of my foot. I was constantly packed in ice and on a ton of meds. At this point, I feel someone from your family should be staying with you to help you with meals and daily living activities. I was unable to care for myself when in that much pain. In my opinion, physio, osteo or acupuncture will make it worse at this point. Hope your can see the surgeon SOON. Prayers🙏
