Burning Feet, ETC.

I've had burning sensations in both feet for over 2 yrs.  Also diagnosed with RLS.  I am not diabetic. It has gradually gotten worse, with my feet not being able to touch anything, as they feel 'raw' to the touch.  I also have strong pains that shoot through my feet, usually between my toes.  The pain is so intense that it causes me to jump.  I've had the nerve induction/EMG tests done twice & nothing significant has shown either time.  I have been on a number of medicines used to treat neuropathy, as it can't be determined exactly what it is.  I had a herniated L5S1 disc removed about 7 yrs ago. And, after thinking I was having a heart attack, approx 2 yrs ago, they discovered a bulging c5-c6 disc.  Pain was mostly at night, but is now beginning earlier and earlier each day.  Can't rest without taking meds, including vicadin, at bedtime.

Hi,
Circulatory and nervous system related problems are the cause for most cases of burning feet syndrome in the majority of patients. Patients with Arthritis are equally vulnerable as the individuals suffering from liver problems, high blood pressure, or a deficiency of the B-vitamin within the body especially vitamin B1. Please go for complete basic investigations, MRI of the feet,  Full body scan and consult a neurologist for diagnosis and treatment. Hope this helps you. Take care and regards!
