Hi, i have a lot of pain and numbness in both my feet, and sometimes the pain is very bad for short periods of time.?

Pain and numbness: This is most likely peripheral neuropathy. It is most common in diabetics and in patients with spinal nerve compression, however, there are many other causes which may be underlying the symptoms. Start with a podiatrist and have the condition diagnosed.
