Experiencing Burning Sensation On Both Heels Of Feet

Good morning, I have had 3 femoral popliteal bypass surgeries in 2003, but now I have noticed a burning sensation on both heels of my feet, and understand the bottom of both feet. Comes on laying down and can be quite painfull at times. Is there any meds that can help relieve this situation?

Hello!

Thank you for asking on HCM!

Your symptoms could be related to peripheral neuropathy.

I recommend performing a nerve conduction study to exclude this possibility.

If this diagnosis is confirmed, I would recommend performing further tests to investigate for the possible underlying causes (complete blood count, fasting glucose, uric acid, thyroid hormone levels, kidney and liver function tests, etc.).

In such case I would recommend starting pregabaline or gabapentine for the pain. You should consult with your doctor on the above tests.

Hope to have been helpful!
Wishing all the best, Dr. Aida
