Hello,
Thanks for your query.
Burning in the feet at night is due to neuropathy. Neuropathy refers to abnormal structure or function of the nerves.
Neuropathy can be central (related to the nerves in the brain and/or spinal cord) or peripheral (related to nerves outside the brain or spinal cord).
It is peripheral in most cases.
Most common causes are: (1) lack of vitamins particularly vitamin b12 and folate.(2)trauma(3)exposure to toxins(4)diabete(5)neurological conditions such as MS, stroke(6)infections such as shingles(7)liver or kidney disease(8)alcohol use(9)side effect of medication(10)idiopathic- the cause is not found (11)inflammatory diseases
I suggest you to get it evaluated.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
