Burning Feet

Burning feet is a common complaint, especially among people over 50 and those who are diabetic.

Thyroid dysfunction, gastric restriction in morbidly obese people, and heavy use of alcohol also have been linked with burning feet.

Neuroma and tarsal tunnel syndrome, which causes a pinched nerve, also can result in burning feet.


About 60-70% of people with diabetes have mild to severe forms of diabetic nerve damage, which in severe forms can lead to lower limb amputations. Approximately 56,000 people a year lose their foot or leg to diabetes.
