I'm no doctor but what you describe sounds like it could well be small fiber neuropathy. Especially the burning. My wife (who has neuropathy) has burning feet and she also does get sharp shooting pains in different places at different times.
One thing you mentioned at first was the thought that this might be related to previous heavy alcohol consumption. Have you been taking a quality B vitamin complex supplement, especially back when you were consuming alcohol? B vitamins are very important, especially for someone who drinks. And B vitamins are important for anyone suffering from neuropathy. If you aren't taking B supplements, it might be a good idea to start now I would think. (Avoid B6 however, bad for neuropathy).
I am glad you are getting tested in May. Will that be a skin biopsy test or nerve conduction test? Best, Hank
