Detailed answer...
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query well and understood your concern.
Very frankly speaking chronic acidity has no connection with your burning feet and pin prick problems.
There can be various causes for your symptoms like...
Iron deifiency
VIT B12 deficiency
Hypothyroidism
Diabetes
VIT D deifiency
Lack of proteins may cause swelling in ankle
Raised blood pressuure can also cause swelling in feet.
Prolonged intake of PANTOPROZOLE can cause deficiency of VIT B 12
Instead of neurologist,you may consult a physician and get yourself thoroughly examined and investigated for the points mentioned above.
I hope it helps,however you may revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
