Hello,
I have gone through your query and understand your concerns.
Foot problems that can affect people if they have diabetes which is the most common cause and nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy)is the other one which can cause numbness and burning, stabbing or shooting pains in your feet in patients with diabetes. Suggest you to have a fasting blood sugar and post prandial sugar test to know about that.
Hope this answers your query.
Regards,
Dr.Alekhya.
