Why do the tops of my feet burn and feel as though they are swollen but are not.

Neuropathy: These sensations are referred to as "parasthesias" and reflect a nerve problem such as neuropathy, tarsal tunnel syndrome, or radiculopathy.

Possibilities vary.: Symptoms of neuropathy can range anywhere from a numbness and tingling sensation, a burning sensation, to an uncomfortable painful sensation of the extremities. For some, these symptoms are mild, while for others, they can be severe and disabling. Neuropathy can develop as a result of a pinched nerve, trauma, drug side effect, and some diseases such as diabetes. Get yoursef tested and treated.
