Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
Burning sensations may be related to peripheral neuropathy.
The peripheral nerves carry nerves to and from the brain. Abnormal sensations can occur due to abnormal structure and function of these nerves.
It is possible that this may be the cause of the burning.
Causes of neuropathy are: (1)vitamin b12 or folate deficiency
(2)trauma
(3)liver and kidney disease
(4)diabetes
(5)some hormonal diseases
(6)exposure to toxins
(7)neurological diseases- such as stroke, ms
(8)idiopathic- cause not known
Your doctor may be able to assess you or refer you to someone such as a neurologist.
I hope this helps
