What Causes A Burning Sensation On The Foot?
Question: hello, am 33 years old male having burning foot from past 3 months. I did complete all tests of diabetes and it came normal. what could be other reasons for burning foot both legs. I feel the heat continuously I mean whole day. otherwise everything is fine with me. all tests are done but I did not go to neurologist.
Brief Answer:
Revise investigation at neurologist's office.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Burning feet is a feature of peripheral neuropathy. It has wide range of causes which include diabetes, vitamin deficiency, thyroid disorder, vascular disorder, electrolyte disturbance, metabolic dysfunction, mental - psychological factors and so on. It is extremely tedious and difficult to understand the cause without careful investigation. Further more, it is important to identify all causes involved to make sure the condition is treated thoroughly. Therefore I will urge you to visit a neurologist with all current reports. He/she will analyse tests done and then recommend missed tests (if any).
I would not be very worried if there is no weakness involved. So don't be worried and proceed to consult a neurologist.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you need any more information.
Regards
