Question 1

the ball of my right foot has been sore for over a year. now there is a burning feeling in the big toe and other toes?

Accepted Answer

Inflammed nerve: Burning is often associated with a nerve. You may have a neuroma which is an enlarged portion of nerve. This is often caused by ill fitting shoes or not enough support for your feet. You also may be putting excessive pressure on your metatarsal bones. Is the pain worse with or without shoes. Usually a neuroma is more symptomatic in  tight shoes. You will probably benefit from more supportive shoes.

Question 2

top of left arch popped during ballet class followed by mild pain and a burning feeling. pain around the highest point of my arch/big toe metatarsal.

Accepted Answer

I would : Discontinue any ballet until I saw the foot doctor. Ice the region and make sure to wear a shoe/sneaker with an arch support until you can be evaluated.

Question 3

i had big toe fusion 20 days ago.he use 2titanium screws. my foot has a burning & numb feeling. is the burning normal? i don't go back in for 2weeks.

Accepted Answer

It might be: That is a lot of surgery on a relatively small structure...lots of nerves affected. Nerve injury can often result in a burning and numb feeling. So I believe it is probably within normal healing expectations. But I am sure your surgeon would want you to call if you have any questions or concerns, so I would feel free to check it out with her/him, too, Hope you heal well and fast. Good wishes:)

Question 4

Question 5

i recently started to have a heated/burning  sensation under my big toe. no associated pain noted. what could cause this?

Accepted Answer

Nerve entrapment: Burning pain associated in the foot is mostly from nerve entrapment syndrome.  This is caused by over-pronation of the foot and thus causes instability across the toes.  This commonly may push on the plantar nerves that run between the toes, causing a burning sensation.  If it feels better to rub them when it happens, most likely a nerve issue.

Accepted Answer

There : There are several different possibilities for this:
1.  If you are having pain when you walk, it could be a morton's neuroma (this is a benign-noncancerous condition).  It is basically a nerve ending that gets too big.  It does not hurt if you push on it and is treated with steroid injection.
2.  If it hurts when you walk, it could be plantar fasciitis also.  This is usually more of the whole bottom of the foot that hurts.
3.  It could be a neurologic issue; your nerves are sending messages for some reason that are abnormal.  
You should have a medical evaluation by a family practitioner or internist to get their opinion.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Neuropathy: Could be low back nerve impingement, tarsal tunnel, vitamin deficiency, systemic disease, side effect of medication etc etc...See a doc...

Accepted Answer

There : There are several possibilities for this such as morton's neuroma which is basically a nerve that has enlarged.  Morton's neuroma does not hurt when when you touch it.  It could also be plantar fasciitis but that is usually more near the heel.  There are treatments for both.  Please be seen medically for this.  If you have increased pain, fever, redness or new complaints then you would need to be seen as an emergency.

Question 10

why does the top of my big toe feel like its burning?

Accepted Answer

It depends.: A burning sensation on the top of a big toe might have many causes. When did the burning sensation start? Is it intermittent or constant? Is there anything you have discovered that makes it worse or better? Has anything recently changed in your life with regard to medicine, diet, or exercise that might have preceded the experience of burning in your toe?
