What Causes Burning Feet When With Arthritis?
Feels like burning hotplates on the bottom of my feet. Originally diagnosed with plantar faciatis on left foot (8 years ago, inserts helped), left foot acted up again this year (burning foot) and it jumped to right at same time (had new inserts for both feet.....burning not going away). Physiotherapist worked on feet but ultimately thought it wasn t plantar faciatis but a nerve issue and couldn t figure it out....no further action. I had been told that it may be related to neropathy..... . I googled this a bit and saw lots of similarity of symptoms....... AHHHHH.....what to do. I also have arthritis in both hips and am 66. No foot swelling at all and am trying to stay very active especially with a aortic valve replacement 4 years ago. AHHHH....any idea?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have burning feet when with arthritis. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like metabolic conditions can lead to burning and tingling in the feet. Diabetes is among the most frequent causes. Chronic kidney and liver diseases are other potential causes of peripheral neuropathy , Infections can lead to inflammation of the nerves in the legs and feet . The viruses that cause chickenpox and mononucleosis are common culprits and Guillain-Barré syndrome .But in your case the symptoms occur may be due to arthritis. I would suggest you to consult general practitioner for proper examination . Doctor may order blood test , kidney and liver function test and treat it accordingly . Doctor may refer you to respective specialist . Drink as much water as you can ( 8-9 glasses ) to flush out metabolic waste . Doctor may also refer you to orthopedic surgeon for proper examination , Who may prescribe capsaicin , infliximab or methotrexate .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
