Burning Sensation In Feet And, Leg Pain, Toe Pain, Joint Pain. What Could Be This?
I have burning sensation in my feet and then my leg starts paining. Pain goes all the way up to the thigh area. My toes hurt as well. Many times it does feel like my joints hurting as well, not sure. It is less in the morning when I wake up. Pain starts at the heel slowly and then increases as I become active and gets higher in the evening. If I sit/lie down pain reduces. It is as if pain and burning sensation increases with the increased use of my legs. What could it be?

hallo dear friend
i hv studied your case
how much distance can you walk without pain?
do you smoke?
do you have pain relief on climbing stairs?
these symptoms can be due to vascular occlusion or lumbar canal stenosis
we will need clinical evaluation to differentiate between two
physio - SWD USG TENS
for vascular cause you will need arterial colour doppler
for canal stenosis you nee d MRI spine to confirm
for further query contact drvaibhavg@yahoo.com
