<s>[INST] I am experiencing a burning sensation from my spine across my waist to my belly button on my right side only. Major bloating, major discomfort laying down. This burning is inside my skin. No evidence of rash or sores. This has been going on for aprox. one week.ricksmiss [/INST] Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to a nerve pain or a spinal cord disorder (including inflammation or myelitis). For this reason, I would recommend consulting with a neurologist for a careful physical exam. A spinal cord MRI may be needed to exclude the above-mentioned possible causes. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Kind regards,  </s>
