I have severe burning sensation and tingling

The severe burning sensation and tingling you are experiencing in your foot are classic symptoms of peripheral neuropathy. Neuropathy occurs when the nerves that carry messages to and from the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body are damaged or irritated. This disruption causes the nerves to misfire, which your brain interprets as burning, tingling, prickling. Common Causes of Foot Neuropathy:-- 1. Diabetes: The most frequent cause of peripheral neuropathy. 2. Nerve Compression: A pinched nerve in your lower back. 3. Nutritional Deficiencies: A lack of essential vitamins, particularly Vitamin B12. 4. Alcohol Use: Chronic excessive alcohol consumption can be toxic to nerves and lead to nutritional deficiencies. 5. Other Medical Conditions: Kidney or liver disease, underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism), and autoimmune diseases (like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis) can also cause nerve damage. Because your symptoms are severe, it is important not to ignore them. Nerve damage can worsen over time if the underlying cause is not treated.
