burning and tingling in the legs may be probably due to degenerative disc pathology. you need to reduce weight definitely. please wear a lumbo sacral corset and check how you sit in a chair during working time. your back should be supporting properly in the chair with entire contact of your back and also keep your legs on foot rest at least 10 cms height from the ground.take mild analgesics and multi vitamin tablets like renerve plus which has benfo thiamine and methycobalamine and along with bed rest for 2 - 3 days.
