Brief Answer:
peripheral neuropathy
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for posting the question.
I have gone through your medical history in detail.
Burning and stinging pain in the feet are classical symptoms of a peripheral neuropathy ,i.e, inflammation of the peripheral nerves. This usually occurs due to vitamin deficiency,especially of B6 and B12 vitamins.
Taking multivitamin supplements with high protein diet and application of local soothening gels will help.
Use soft footwear with silicon rubber insoles if possible.
Keep the legs elevated over a pillow at night.
I hope the answer was useful.
Feel free to ask me any doubts that you may have.
Thank you.
Best wishes.
