Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Numbness And Burning Sensation At The Bottom Of Feet?
The bottom of my feet are numb and at times the bottom of my feet burns especially if I am on my feet too long. The muscles of both legs feels sore all the time. My elbows are also sore and tender to the touch. My fingers get very stiff when I am relaxed, not moving them. There are other issues with my body. Please advise.
Feet numbness is a symptom that may be related to several conditions including peripheral neuropathy, herniated disc, and spinal lumbar stenosis, mononeuropathy, peripheral vascular disease, prolonged alcohol use, etc. Diagnostic tests take an important role in cases like yours in understanding correctly the cause.
Nerve conduction study, Doppler ultrasound of the legs vessels, MRI of the lumbar spine, etc. may be necessary for this purpose. It is necessary to get examined first by your primary care Doctor who can order the appropriate tests and consultations in order to achieve a correct diagnosis.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Iven Romic Rommstein, General Surgeon
