"Dr. James Explains the Mystery Behind Burning Sensations in Feet"
Burning feet, often felt more acutely at night, can be caused by sensory neuropathy, where the sensory nerve fibers are disturbed. This condition can be associated with vitamin B deficiency, diabetes, or tibial tunnel syndrome. While there's no specific cure for the nerve dysfunction, treatments may include vitamin B supplements, blood-sugar-lowering drugs, physiotherapy, or surgery. Cooling the feet and certain medications like lidocaine, capsaicin, gabapentin, amitriptyline, and mexiletine can provide relief, although their effectiveness varies.
