[|AI|]  Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor ! The temperature could be related to the urinary tract infection. For this reason, I recommend performing a urine bacterial culture and a urinary tract ultrasound. Regarding the tightness and burning sensation, I would recommend performing a nerve conduction study to exclude possible neuropathy. I would also like to directly review your spine MRI for the degree of spinal canal stenosis. Consulting with a spine surgeon may be needed. Regarding the stiffness, a muscle relaxant (Flexeril, baclofen) for a short period of time may be helpful. Pregabalin or duloxetine could also help improve the pain and burning sensation. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Best wishes,
