In my opinion a couple of investigations might help us arrive at a probable diagnosis of your condition.
Fasting Blood sugar levels, Post prandial blood sugar levels, TSH, Complete blood picture, Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D levels.
Abnormalities in the above tests , for eg, Diabetes or Vitamin B12 deficiency etc might cause symptoms similar to what you are experiencing.
Uncontrolled sugar levels can cause burning sensation in the feet.Uncontrolled sugar levels can cause urinary tract infection. Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause burning sensation of the feet.
Hence , it would be worthwhile to get these investigations done.
In the meantime drink plenty of fluids to clear the urinary problem and also have well balanced nutritious meals.
