Pain + stinging sensation on bottom of feet Posted: 06-08-07 22:05pm
I hiked in some aqua socks all day a few
years ago wearing a 50lb backpack walking
over many pebbles. My feet were stinging
on the bottom for two weeks after. This
seems to come back every 6 months or so. I
just had it recently for over a week and
now it doesn't sting, but I seem to feel
my pulse on the bottom of my feet and when
I lift it, I feel a warm sensation of
blood flow. What can this be??

“Warm sensations of blood flow” in the
feet is not a medical problem. On the
other hand, pain in the feet could be
considered a medical problem. Pain in the
feet can be due to physical obesity,
injury, neuropathy or blood circulation
disorder. You can request a medical
examination by an orthopedist to examine
the foot’s bones, joints, tendons and
muscles. An X-ray image of the feet would
be appropriate too. You would also need a
medical examination of the vein and
arterial circulation. Further, a
neurological examination would be
necessary to exclude possible neuropathy.
Taking a painkiller can help you to
temporarily relieve the pain. You can
first visit your GP first who can then
decide which specialist might be next.
