Neuropathy: Burning pain mostly is due to neuropathic pain. There are several types of neuropathy. The most common one is due to diabetes, but there are several other types. Please see your pcp.

Hypoxia: Lack of circulation means less oxygen is getting to your legs and feet causing pain. This is termed rest pain. Best to see good vascular specialist.
