Feet Won't Stop Burning/Hurting, Especially After Walking in Shoes

I guess the obvious answer is Bartonella, but I haven't come across old posts that fit exactly what I have happening.

My toes and front ball of foot always feel some pain, but it is much worse after standing or waling in shoes for a while. It does not impact heel. Just toes, ball of foot and top of foot. Sometimes I'll get light swelling in ankles after being on them all day. I have checked to see if there is feeling in the toes through touch test, and I can always feel even the slightest touch.

Sound like Bart? I am waiting for doctor to send kit to have Igenex tests done. I was surprised to hear it is covered by Medicare. ALso, my ears wild mildly burn sometimes. Just still worried about autoimmune or neuropathy.

First..feet are complicated...........and attached to your legs (dont forget).

Well the older we get, and / or more foot from just living or athletics, flat feet ect, the more its hard to pin point what the cause is. Prob both for some people (such as myself).

Feet can burn from problem areas in the legs and lower back (nerves and vessels and muscles in both areas impact the feet).

I can crack my front part foot / toe junction all at once (thumb under pushing up, fingers over pulling toes down). Standing on a golf ball helps the under side of front middle foot. And if the shin splint muscles/ tendons are only a little tight, they pull on the top front foot /toes connection. Massage front of shins rubbing on beveled table, staircase, counter top edge.

Till you find the right pill to pop, try above ideas for instant but short term relief.

yeah, I think there is something to that beveled edge, I have some furniture that I've re-appropriated for exercise, large cubes, blocks, and that straight-edge it always feels good to press out my hamstrings on the sharp beveled edge of those blocks, not sure why, but I do that with when I do the triceps-dip exercise and it always feels good, like I'm pressing the lactic acid out...

Anyway..that fascia-release, deep-tissue-massage is really something, an art, a science, especially if you have a lot of things to work out--just literally found a golf ball and a hard floor to work on my feet, thx I appreciate that. I did find some field hockey balls at a thrift store, likely after having read some of your exercise-training threads, so I had been using those field hockey/lacrosse? balls to press things out, as I keep forgetting how important light exercise training, yoga, stretching was/is. I should keep doing so.

It's weird as my feet don't hurt in a "pounding athletic sense." It's more of a burning, except for some arthritis in big toes from years of running too high on toes in faster races.

Still waiting on tests I had draws for 11 days ago. Maybe that will answer. But I do what astroman mentioned only using a lacrosse ball.

I had the burning from these infections, I took a wide variety of ABX so its hard to say exactly what I killed off, made HH tea also.

That said, these infections can trigger body pain problems in as much a physical way as a physical injury. Nerves are nerves no matter how they are damaged/inflamed, and inflamed tendons and muscle are inflamed tendons and muscles no matter the cause. So even though killing the critters is the end solution (and a lengthy one) treating this pain like a traditional cause will still help sometimes rather quickly, but only (as you might guess) temporarily.....which is still better than nothing while you wait. Its just creating more blood flow which makes sense why it helps.

I used to go walking barefoot on a beach which is good foot exercise since parts of the foot sink in unlike on hard surfaces. It felt good and moved my foot muscles in different ways.
