      As the robobots have taken over the board here, most of you seem to be describing some sort of peripheral neuropathy, a condition your GP can treat. Many of the drug are inexpensive. There can be other causes as well so get a physical. Good God, I cannot believe the amount of robobots on a board like this where people come to get real help! Are there no moderators? Don’t mean to rant, but I hoping to find a new shoe that I could easily adjust when running so I could stay comfortable. The tops of my feet go numb very easily.

    I have a burning sensation going up the front of my right leg. I thought it was razor burn at first but it has continued for over a week now.
    My veins seem to have raised in my feet. Should I be concerned. I have lost about 10 lbs. within the last month. I don’t know if that has anything to do with it.
    Thank You

    sounds like foot neuroma~ I had sharp stabbing pain if I moved my feet a certain way, then tingling on the tops to my 2nd, 3rd, 4th toes~ I knew it was the nerves and something happened after I ran in 4 inch platform heels and fell down

    A few months now I have been noticing from my upper right leg, whenever I stand for long I have a hard time bending my leg to sit. Now I am see that my veins are puffed up and getting bigger. I have a very irritating feeling of numbness, tingling and burning sensation in both my feet. I am seeing a vein specialist Dr. Au on the 15th of June. My Dr. prescribed a cream to rub, not doing any thing. Right now I feel biting and scrawling in especially my right leg. I feel a little constipated lately. I am using a stool softener.

      For many years I have suffered from back pain; untll my neurologist prescribed a tense unit for the pain as I cannot take most medications for pain. This unit has helped me a lot as the pain is very manageable with it. Nevertheless, about maybe a yr, i have been feeling a burning, tingling, numbness sensation on my right leg and right arm. It really makes my life miserable & those who live around me as they cannot help me with this. Even the neurologist stated he does not know what else to do for me. Please, help anyone!!

    I have the same symptoms as Helen. Tingling on the top of right foot spreading to the calf. I was also athletic. The tingling is aggravated by wearing shoes and I’ve had the problem for 1-1/2 months. All blood work for arthritis, lupus, etc. are negative. Any thoughts> Thanks

    I have been experiencing numbness on the top of my left foot. It is also numb to the touch. I work for a tree service so I stand on my feet all day, but my right foot feels fine. Can you give me any suggestions on what might be causing this?

      I have a numbness on the inside of my left foot slightly on my big toe. I have had this numbness for 2 days. When I touch the part that is numb I have a tingling sensation in the area. I am not sure if it is serious enought to go to the doctor or not. Any help answer as to what the reasoning is for the numbness?

    Before going through all of the possibilities of what you might have, try to remember what you have already done to that entire leg. As yourself some question about change in activity, shoes, or even sleeping angles. The nerves in the body are incredibly fragile. Make sure you are not irritating the nerves in some way. Have you been wearing high heels lately? Have you been excercising a little more than usual lately? Do you play drums? Are you crossing your legs or sitting indian style? All of these things can cause tingling of the the extremities interacting with the brain through the nerve of which is being pinched, tightened about, stretched vigorously, or hit. This may not help your symptoms but will atleast point you in the right direction. Good luck. By the way I too have been getting the same problem. I wore high heels for two weeks on and off and will never do it again. The tinglingness is going away.

    on the top of my left foot, I feel burning. I can’t think of a cause and it has become annoying to say the least. Shoes or even barefoot I am in pain

    An area ranging from my big toe joint along the inside and up over the top of my foot feels really numb. When I touch it it does feel tingly but I don’t have a burning feelin. I am awaiting an appointment with a neurologist to see if he can shed any light on it. I have to say, if I have been on my feet walking etc. for 3 or 4 hours, then my foot becomes generally very painful. Has anyone got any ideas?

    After having my baby 3 years ago I have had trouble losing weight, and when I started to walk more is when my feet would swell up to the point of two balloons. My viens in my feet would pop up looking very swollen,and a year ago I statred getting the burning feeling on the top of my feet. A year ago I saw bone specialist about only the pain I was getting in my heels,and the swelling. At that time there was no burning! I was told that the fat padding in my feet is deaerating, and all I could do is get padding..or gel insoles in my shoes. Which I did do……however now the swelling, extreme pain, redness, skin is almost bubbled with liquid, top of feet on fire. All symptoms are not constant, and very depending on how long I’m on my feet..the humidity….rain….!A ny ideas what now is the problem?

    I recently was concerned because the top of my left foot became numb. A few days ago I had a pain on the top of my left foot. It felt like a spider had just bit me. I took off my shoe, but nothing was there. Then the top of my foot was numb. I googled the symptoms to see what it could be. I read about vitamin B12 deficiency and other causes. A couple of days later, my foot is now fine. Apparently, I just pinched a nerve. Advice, don’t over react. Wait a few days and see if it is just a pinched nerve.
