Can be tendonitis or nerve root irritation.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The middle back pain and burning hands with shooting pain to the left shoulder is likely to be a nerve related pain. Can be due to a mild nerve root irritation at the level of cervical spine or due to shoulder tendonitis.
A direct examination and MRI scan will help in proper diagnosis. You can get Vitamin B 12 supplements and medicines like pregabalin and gabapentin prescribed from your orthopedician. Regular exercises of the neck and shoulder will help in stopping further progression of the problem.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
