Hello @rmoran1966, I would like to add my welcome to Connect along with @wisfloj and others. There are also other causes for burning feet other than neuropathy. Here's some information you might find helpful.

There is also another discussion on the topic here:

The second post in the above discussion by @kanaazpereira mentions the Erythromelalgia Clinic in Minnesota where specialists work together to offer you specialized skin testing, an accurate diagnose and a treatment plan that meets your needs - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/erythromelalgia/?pg=1#comment-122070.

Has your doctor suggested any treatment or therapy to help with your feet getting hot only at night?

moran1996, Yes, I understand this feeling. My feet are usually very cold in the day, but when I go to sleep, my soles are red and burning. I will stick my feet outside the covers. I just thought it was weird me. A neurologist at Mayo prescribed a compounded mixture, but it didn't work so I just live with it. @joybringer1
