HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

This burning sensation may be due to neuropathy. This is abnormal sensations due to abnormal nerve structure or function of nerves in a particular area.

It can present with burning, sticking, numbness,tingling sharp pain etc

It may be temporary or permanent.

There are different possible causes such as: (1)trauma
(2)infections eg shingles
(3)diabetes
(4)vitamin b12 or folate deficiency
(5)exposure to toxins
(6)liver or kidney disease
(7)hormonal disease
(8)idiopathic- cause is not known

By history , examination and possibly bloods, your doctor may be able to determine the cause and treat you appropriately.

I hope this helps
