What Causes Chronic Inflammation Of Feet?
Hi, I increasingly have burning pain in both feet, to the extent that I have to take my shoes off to relieve the discomfort. But even loose fitting sock can be irritating. Even worse the bed sheets over my feet at night will make my feet feel like they are on fire.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have chronic inflammation of feet . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like nerve compression , diabetes or multiple Sclerosis . Sometimes the symptoms you mention in query can also occur due to organ failure like kidney failure or heart failure , gout . If condition doesn't get well then consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination. Doctor may order blood test , urine test , CT scan or MRI along with physical examination to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe methotrexate , allopurinol , anti inflammatory , gabapentin and recommend physical therapy . I would suggest you to lower your salt consumption , apply warm compresses on entire leg , keep your feet elevated while sleeping and take muscle relaxants like orthodox MR , doctor may also prescribe antibiotics in case of infection . Doctor may also refer you to cardiologist in case of cardiac problem or to nephrologist in case of kidney problem .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
