I made an appointment in about a month at the Novant Health Neurology Specialists in Charlotte. So far my sugar, B12, and a lot of other tests have been done with no results. I had nerve testing done at that same place, but it was a referral from a neurology clinic in Salisbury. Those tests were also normal. My feet mostly burn all the time like I'm walking on a beach barefoot in the July Sun. I'm compiling a list of questions to ask the doctor when I go, and things to be prepared for. Do you folks have any suggestions for questions that have helped you in the past?

Hi @waltermc, there is another discussion here on Connect that you might be interested in reading through. You will be able to meet other members discussing burning feet syndrome.

It's good that you are compiling a list of questions to ask at your next appointment. You might get some good ideas from the discussion above.

Gabapentin and Lyrica help with my feet burning. When they are wearing off and my next dose is due in an hour or so, my feet/toes start to burn again, and they burn for 1/2 an hour or so until the gaba/lyrica takes effect. We all seem to be a bit different in this complicated condition that we have but it helps me to know what others are doing -- I'll try anything. Peggy
