Brief Answer:
I will advise you to do MRI whole spine.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I have studied your case.
This pain may not be related to your previous surgeries.
Due to compression of lumbar [back] nerve root there can be pain in your back and thigh.Burning sensation can also be due to lumbar canal stenosis which can be confirmed by MRI.

I will advise you to do MRI whole spine
For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication like pregabalin with methylcobalamin can be started consulting your doctor.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support of back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
