Nerve irritation: The sensation you describe is a paresthesia. Causes include local nerve injury, kidney stones, and more rarely infections, lack of blood flow, genetic conditions, medication side effects and vitamin deficiencies. New, severe, or persistent symptoms are worthy of an office visit to check for these conditions.

Burning back pain: Many possibilities. Perhaps a nerve pinch or kidney stone or problem. You need to see your doctor for an examination to determine cause and treatment.
