What Causes Inflammation In Between The Toes And Painfully Swollen Hands?

burning in between big and next toes, general burning on side of both feet toward front Stiff, aching, swollen hands, left hand almost completely numb. Middle fingers want to lock. These symptoms are new for me. I am afraid because diabetes runs in my family, but my blood sugar has always been ok. I am overweight and am trying to walk 30 minutes a day. Also crave carbs, want to eat all the time and have gained, not lost, weight like my doctor wants me to do. I had lost weight until a couple of months agol. I am also concerned about the venaflexine. I have a lot of family problems right and might qualify as mildly depressed, but I d rather be depresssed than fat and hurting.
