Nerves from the spinal cord go throughout the rest of the body.  My best guess would be that the damaged discs are in the part of your spine where the nerves go to your legs, hips, etc.  But only your doctor can tell you that for sure.  If you haven't already, be sure to tell your doctor about the burning pain you're experiencing.  There may be treatments that can help reduce the pain.
