No pain, not dark or cloudy. No other symptoms. I'd like to believe it's just anxiety, but I don't want to miss something else.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
I read carefully your query.
If you have a permanent burning sensation on your feet and fingers ,it may need evaluation.
It might be related to peripheral neuropathy.The most common causes for this are diabetes, Vit B 12 deficiency, hypothyroidism ,alcoholism etc.
A detailed medical history and physical examination are necessary.You need to run some tests to exclude some possible causes like:
-Complete blood count
-Vit B12 level
-Thyroid hormone levels
If all these test and physical examination are normal ,then you may not need to worry.
Anxiety can cause such symptoms but other pathological causes should be excluded first.
Hope it helps.
Let me know if you have any question.
Kind regards,
