U.S. mobile users sent an average of 357 texts per month in the second quarter of 2008 versus an average of 204 calls, the report said. Texting has been a boon for telecoms. Giants Verizon Wireless and AT&T each charge 20 to 25 cents a message, or $20 for unlimited texts.
Now we enter the scarier territory. Peripheral neuropathy is damage to the nerves, in this case, the nerves to your feet. Burning is one symptom of peripheral neuropathy, but it can also be a pins and needles sensation, numbness, tickling or tingling. Diabetes is one of the most common causes of peripheral neuropathy. If you are experiencing burning feet and haven't had a medical checkup in a while, it is a good idea to stop putting it off and to discuss it with your doctor. Diabetes can come on at any age and it pays to begin addressing it immediately.
In some people, leg and foot (and sometimes arm and hand) pain can be the result of neuropathy, a disorder of the peripheral motor, sensory and autonomic nerves that connect the spinal cord to our muscles, skin and internal organs. Neuropathy can cause numbness, tingling and a heavy sensation. âIt usually starts in the feet and may cause a burning sensation in the legs,â Fesperman says. In some cases, people may lose their ability to feel sensation in their legs, which can put them at risk for injury and infection.
