A member asked:

Intermittent episodes intense burning pain in right foot when walking. doc says no neuropathy, maybe hairline fracture, gout rheumatism? other causes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get another opinion: Unless there is also intense swelling and redness you can rule out gout. Rheumatism is a vague term that has no real significance in this situation. See an orthopedist to start.
