What Causes Pain And Burning In Palms And Feet?

I've been feeling pain and a feeling of warmth and burning in the palm of my hands and the sole of my feet. I've already been to a rheumatologist and as my blood tests are all negativ . he says it's not an inflammatory disease.
Are there any other reasons for these pains?

Thank you for your answer

Hello!
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

Many conditions can cause symptoms as you describe.
The symptoms you describe might due to distal symmetric polyneuropathy, which generally describes nerve damage that is most often in the hands and feet, and arms and legs. The condition has a variety of causes, including diabetes, poor nutrition, HIV, certain medications, excessive alcohol consumption, or simply, genetics.
Since your doctor has excluded inflammatory disease and your blood results were normal (means that a probably Diabetes is excluded) the options remained are:
-Dietary deficiencies of certain nutrients like Iron,Calcium,Vitamin D,Vitamin B12,Folic acid.
in this case symptomatic relief can be obtained by intake of these elements : Vit B6,Vit B12,Folic acid,and multimineral supplement including Calcium and Vit D. to be added in your diet.

I suggest to consult a neurologist for a complete neurological examination and probably nerve condution studies in order to get the right diagnosis and treatment.

Hope my answer has helped.
Take care.
