Feet Numbness, Burning Sensation During Exercising. Possible Remedies?
Hi Doc, I need to if I should see my local GP. I have started back exercising in the past month and I seem to have a recurring problem with my feet as they become numb and give a slight burning sensation during and after exercising. I mostly walk/run and I do cycle a lot, it's got to the point especially for when I run that it's uncomfortable and annoying. What maybe the symptoms and possible remedies. Looking forward to your answer. Thanks.

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Your symptoms suggest peripheral neuropathy, where the nerves in the feet do not function normally. In addition, one shoul also exclude lumbar canal stenosis, where the lumbar nerves in the lower back get compressed due to slipped disc.
Please consult your GP for evaluation.
Best wishes,

Hi and welcome to HCM
Numbness and burning sensation in feet could be due to nerve compression over back or due to peripheral neuropathy or deficiency of vit B12.
I suggest you to get it evaluated by your doctor.
Taking methylcobalamin and pregabalamin prepration will be helpful. You can take this after prescription of your doctor.
Hope this will helps you. Take care.
