Burning feet is a common complaint, especially among people over 50 and those who are diabetic.
Thyroid dysfunction, gastric restriction in morbidly obese people, and heavy use of alcohol also have been linked with burning feet.
Neuroma and tarsal tunnel syndrome, which causes a pinched nerve, also can result in burning feet.

What are the most prevalent foot and ankle injuries?
Ankle sprains. Sprained ankles are one of the most common injuries in sports. Because the inner ankle is more stable than the outer ankle, the foot is likely to turn inward (ankle inversion) from a fall, tackle, or jump. This stretches or tears ligaments; the result is an ankle sprain. |
