Burning feet is a common foot complaint among many groups, most commonly in the older group over 50 years of age. There are many different causes of this condition. Diabetics are often affected with burning feet due to impaired neuropathy (nerves). There may be redness and swelling present, however, often there is no physical sign of this condition.
Long standing inflammation causes the deposition of calcium at the point where the plantar fascia inserts into the heel. This results in the appearance of a sharp thorn like heel spur on x-ray. The heel spur is asymptomatic (not painful), the pain arises from the inflammation of the plantar fascia. Symptoms include a dull ache which is felt most of the time with episodes of a sharp pain in the centre of the heel or on the inside margin of the heel.
Often the pain is worse on first rising in the morning and after rest and is aggravated by prolonged weight bearing & thin soled shoes.
