See a neurologist for eval especially if becomes worse.

Question 9

Need to see your Dr.: Wearing shoes should not cause burning sensation to occur! You need to discuss this with your pediatrician to make sure it's not something serious. Neuropathic foot pain is unusual in your age group. . You can always get a second opinion from a podiatrist.Try using orthotics or arch supports now to decompress your arches that will also support your legs &amp; back too! Start feeling better soon!

Heel Pain: Burning heel pain is commonly caused by inflammation of the fibrous tissue called the plantar fascia. This condition is called plantar fasciitis.
