What Is It: Peripheral neuropathy is caused by damage to the nerves in the leg or foot, anywhere along their path from the spine down to the feet. It is the most common cause of burning pain in feet. Causes: Various medical conditions e.g. diabetes, injury e.g. fractures, infections e.g. shingles or medication. In approximately 30% of cases the cause is unknown. Symptoms: Burning foot pain often accompanied by weakness, altered sensation e.g. pins and needles or numbness, altered balance and co-ordination.
Lee Sanders, DPM, responds: A painfully hot or burning sensation in the feet, especially in middle-aged and older people, could be caused by small fiber neuropathy. Diabetes is the most common cause of this condition; symptoms typically start with burning feet and numb toes.
