I have had burning down my left arm and leg starting 3 years ago.  my neurosurgion fussed c5-c6 due to a abviouse bulging disk pressing on my spinal cord. there was also mention of a pinched nerv bundle to the left not sure. I still have all the pain and they just throw pain killers at me 6 norcos a day.  Mty doctor tells me the arm pain and leg pain are unrelated. i tell him hes wrong becouse they come and go together and they are the same burning.  Can a pinched nerve or damaged spinal cord in the neck cause both arm and leg pain all on the left? my right side is perfect
