Nerve pain: An electromyogram and nerve conduction study can identify the cause of the burning in the foot. There are a battery of blood tests that range from B12 levels and thyroid function to blood sugar and inflammatory markers to test for neuropathy. See a neurologist for evaluation and treatment.
