What Causes A Burning Sensation And Pain In The Feet?
I was on 80 mg of Lipitor for 10 months following a stent put in place Oct 2013. For the last 4 months or so, both large toes and both balls of my feet have been tender, burning and painful. Upon complaining to my doctor 2 months ago, following by blood work, he recommended cutting the Lipitor to 10 mg daily. Since then, I see little if any change in my discomfort and am wondering if I should be taken off Lipitor completely and try some other statin? My colesterol runs about 200. Two of my siblings had/have a history of heart problems. One was taken off Lipitor due to its effects on his muscles. Thank you. Robert age 79 I just read this is not a free service. Thank you anyway. I am scheduled to see my cardiologist next Tuesday. Good bye.

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
burning sensation in feet suggests neuropathy. The reason may be due to defeciency od nutrients or due to vascular compromise or due to any pressure effect. With the history of anxiety and panic the most probable cause is defeciency of nutrients.
1. So you can take multi vitamin supplements consisting of pyridoxine, methyl cobalamine with pregabalin. This supplements will help you in the prevention of symptoms.
2. Along with these you need to have nutritious diet consisting of fruits and green leafy vegetables and more fluids
3. Daily out door exercises (150 min per week).
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
