What Do Inflammation And Burning Sensation On The Toes Indicate?

My big toes are red ... and they are burning. I m a type 2 diabetic, not on insulin and pretty well under control. I also have a very debilitating lower back problem which has caused incredible pain. Currently I am awaiting surgery, which will be done soon. I ve got 3 discs out of place, narrow opening for the spinal cord, (spinal stenosis) ..... and wondering if the foot/burning red toes problem is related to diabetes or could it be from the nerves in my spine?

Hello,

As your sugar level is under control. It is good. Please monitor blood sugar level by HbA1c besides fasting blood sugar (FBS) and random blood glucose (RBS). Your problems are due to spine problems as disc protrusions and spinal stenosis.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Varinder Joshi
