Sensation burning - #29333

Harsh

I am dealing with this annoying sensation burning in my feet, and honestly, it's driving me crazy! It started about a month ago after I finished a long run, and I thought maybe it was just from overdoing it. But ugh, it hasn’t gone away. At first, it was just a little tingle, you know, like pins and needles, but then it turned into this persistent sensation burning that makes it hard to sleep at night. I went to the doc last week, and they said it could be neuropathy, which freaked me out a bit because that sounds serious! They did blood tests and said my sugar levels are fine, no vitamin deficiencies either. It’s just been getting worse - like, my feet feel like they are on fire, and sometimes it spreads up into my legs. It’s hard to focus on work, and I'm worried it might be something really bad. I’ve been reading about various causes of this sensation burning, like nerve issues or even something autoimmune, and now I'm just stressing over it. Should I push for more tests? I don’t know if I should wait it out or see a specialist. Any advice would be super helpful!

A burning sensation in your feet as you’ve described might indeed point towards neuropathy, though it’s good that more serious underlying issues like diabetes have been ruled out through your blood tests. Taking into account that this started after a run and hasn’t improved, it’s key to consider other possibilities such as repetitive stress injury, insufficient footwear support, or even something like tarsal tunnel syndrome, which can also cause neuropathic-like symptoms. In some cases, causes can be less obvious, like an undetected small fiber neuropathy or a mild injury that may require more specific imaging tests. Although your current tests didn’t find deficiencies or abnormalities, it might still be worth checking into less common causes or even conducting a nerve conduction study or electromyography to assess nerve function thoroughly. While it’s understandable to feel stressed about it, persisting symptoms like these definitely warrant more specialized attention. Seeing a neurologist or a podiatrist may help. They can provide a more targeted evaluation for neuropathic issues or other nerve-related problems that could be affecting your feet. In the meanwhile, applying cooling gels or creams, wearing proper footwear, and analyzing your running technique might help manage your symptoms. It’s also advisable to avoid activities that exacerbate the symptoms until a more definitive cause is identified and managed. If the burning sensation escalates rapidly or you experience additional symptoms, such as significant weakness or noticeable spreading, seek medical attention immediately as it might indicate more urgent intervention is required.
