Have A Burning Sensation In Feet. Is It Related To Menstrual Cycle?
I have a burning sensation in my feet, it is usually worse when I try to go to sleep but I also have noticed it in the mornings. I feel like it is correlated with my menstrual cycle (when I am ovulating possibly). I also seem to have frequent urination and some other symptoms which point to diabetes but I think they would have found this already as my burning sensation has been going on randomly for over a year now. (it does not occur every month but it is very uncomfortable)

Hello,
The most common cause for burning feet specially in night is due to peripheral neuropathy caused by uncontrolled diabetes.
However there can be various other reasons for burning feet like...
If you are obese,then mechanical overload can cause this
Chronic alcoholism
Deficiency of VIT B 12
Hypothyroidism
Heavy metal poisoning and so on...
I advise you to take injection VIT B 12 on alternate days for 7 to 10 injections.
Get yourself tested for diabetes,hypothyridism .
If you don't find relief in next 15 days,then you should consult a neurologist
and get yourself properly investigated by getting EMG and nerve conduction test and sometimes even nerve biopsy also.
Thanks
