Question : my foots are burning, some times unbearable also
Brief Answer:
Can be due to Vitamin B12 deficiency.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The burning sensation of the feet that is unbearable can be related to neural cause. This can happen due to low levels of vitamin B12 or diabetic neuropathy or a history of injury to back- spine or previous infection with herpes. Decreased fluid intake or electrolyte imbalance can also cause such a problem.
You need to get your serum Vitamin B12 levels and electrolyte levels evaluated and start with proper supplements according to any deficiency.
Using soft soled shoes will also help. Do increase your fluid intake and frequent change in posture and stretching exercises of feet will also help.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
