What Causes Burning Sensation On The Left Foot?
Hi There, I recently started getting a burning pain on the top of my left foot, I notice it when playing with my kids (3 and 5) on the floor, or when wearing boots, it can get really painful for a brief period, sometimes the burning feels like the top of the foot is tearing apart, but the pain goes away as long as I dont sit on my foot (if that makes sense). It s the top of the foot and there is some numbness. I don t suffer any medical conditions, I m 47 yrs old Male. Thanks for your time. Paul
