Possibly, : While these buldging disks may be the culprits, you will need a professional evaluation of your imaging and a thorough physical exam to determine this. There are other medical conditions that can present with burning in the extremities.

Radic vs piriformis: As a physiatry spine specialist, i see patients with this all the time. Besides the obvious thought of lumbar radiculopathy (pinched nerves from disc bulges and bony spurs in the low back), piriformis syndrome would need to be considered.
