Burning In Feet. No Help From Medicines. Causing Dizziness. What Could Be The Reason?

Hi, i have significant burning in my feet. not a diabetic. have been to vascular doctor, a nerologists, an intern, and a foot doctor and still no results. most pills make me dizzy and miserable. feet are not numb, just burn and it seems to be progressing up both legs. it is equal in both feet and lower legs. I have had so many pills and over the counter applications that I feel like a test case.

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi
you have explored and exhausted all possibilities with out a positive result .Some time such symptoms are also seen in a condition called Somatoform Disorder which is a psychological condition .The patient is usually not aware that it is because of psychological cause .The diagnosis is usually by excluding physical causes one by one .It would not be a bad idea to meet a psychiatrist ;discuss your symptoms with him .Now there are drugs to treat such physical symptoms for which there is no physical cause on examination and investigations Take care please and lower your level of worry
