Brief Answer:
Neuropathic pain

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

The burning sensation in your feet which you described is likely to be related to nerve damage / neuropathy. Diabetes should be looked for and ruled out as it's a common association with such neuropathic pain. The foot should be thoroughly examined for any ulceration, calluses or swelling. NCS (Nerve conduction studies) and EMG (Electromyography) can be done to determine and localise the pathology, in consultation with your doctor. For the pain gabapentin, pregabalin and topical substance P depleters can be advised.
