What Causes Burning Sensation In The Feet?
Question: my feet hurt me me at night so much I can not sleep. they do not seem to be swollen what can I do?
Brief Answer:
Spinal canal stenosis
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX , I am Dr Gopal Goel , Orthopedic Surgeon.
Your feet hurt , maximum at night that you are unable to sleep and they are not swollen.
In my opinion , pain in the feet at night is caused by compression of nerves in spinal canal , in a condition where the nerve pathways are narrowed-- called spinal canal stenosis.In this condition pain is usually at night or after long walks.
I suggest that you start pain killers, muscle relaxants , Gabapentin and physiotherapy. If you don't feel better in 10 days then get an MRI of lower back.
I hope I have answered your question. Pl feel free to ask any further querry.
