Having Warmth Feeling On Foot And Heel. Should I Be Worried?

default
Posted on Sun, 8 Dec 2013
Question: For the past week I have been getting periodic feelings of warmth in my right foot, usually the bottom of my heel or the lower part of my arch. It gets warm for a few seconds, like I stepped in a warm puddle, and then goes away after a few seconds. Is this something I should be alarmed about?
