A member asked:

What to do if i have a burning and stabbing pain on the bottom of my feet, what could it be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sounds like: a condition affecting nerve. Could be originating as high up as back. In addition to more supportive shoes and inserts, see physician for evaluation.
