There is an old burning sensations on the sole of the foot of an #oldman of age 80 years. What could be the problem and diagnostics?
A burning sensation in your feet may be caused by nerve damage in the legs, also called neuropathy. Although many medical conditions can causeburning feet, diabetes is the most common. Please visit your nearest hospital and tell the doctor about his full details.
Ok , is it uni or bilateral , is it constant or recurrent , is there any history of DM or peripheral nerve disorders, when did it start ?. Can you make clear history please
Bilateral, constant and it is present from last 2-3 years and no peripheral nerve disorder
B12 deficiency may also cause tingling and burning sensations in the hands and feet. The presence of a smooth and red tongue would suggest it.
