Hi All
Have'nt been on here for a while but would like to know if anyone out there suffers from burning tingling feet they are driving me mad and have to keep them out of the bed at night this is all day too
I have an underactive Thyroid and am on 100mc per day.
Benadrove5
Burning feet syndrome is listed as one of the symptoms of hypothyroidism. I have had it in the past, fortunately not at the moment.
I am suffering with sore soles of my feet when I get up every morning. It usually wears off after about 15 minutes. I am not hypothyroid so I wonder what is causing mine.
Burning feet syndrome isn't sore feet, it's literally as though your feet are on fire.
It does feel like my feet are burning and sore. It might just be my age or because I wear high heels which I have done since the 70's. My daughter doesn't know why I find them comfortable but I do.
Thank you for replying is there anything i can do to help it i have an appointment for a US on both feet.
I never found anything to help with mine, I assume that I must be optimally medicated to it be suffering with it at the moment.
Have you tried an antidepressant. Paxil among others have worked well for me.

If your reply was meant for me rather than Benadrove5, all I can say is "Good grief, an SSRI antidepressant that is used for depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, social phobia, generalized anxiety disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder and premenstrual dysohoric disorders, for someone who has never suffered with any of those conditions and has occasional burning feet, no I would never take an antidepressant for it".
Have you tried Magnesium? I had burning skin and my neurologist at the time said to take magnesium and It actually helped or it just cleared on it’s own either way it worked for me and I still take it 4 yrs later.
Common when vitamin D and B vitamins are low
When were thyroid and vitamin levels last tested
Add results and ranges if you have any
Do you always get same brand of levothyroxine
What vitamin supplements are you currently taking
For full Thyroid evaluation you need TSH, FT4 and FT3 plus both TPO and TG thyroid antibodies tested. Also EXTREMELY important to test vitamin D, folate, ferritin and B12
Low vitamin levels are extremely common, especially if you have autoimmune thyroid disease (Hashimoto's) diagnosed by raised Thyroid antibodies
Do you have Hashimoto’s?
Ask GP to test vitamin levels And thyroid antibodies if not been tested yet
Recommended on here that all thyroid blood tests should ideally be done as early as possible in morning and before eating or drinking anything other than water .
Last dose of Levothyroxine 24 hours prior to blood test. (taking delayed dose immediately after blood draw).
This gives highest TSH, lowest FT4 and most consistent results. (Patient to patient tip, best not mentioned to GP or phlebotomist)
When people post about the feeling of burning, especially of feet, I quite often post this link.
It is getting on a bit but nonetheless it does give an overview of the causes of burning feet. And I have not seen a more recent article which I could use instead.

I've read that so many times trying to glean something I may have missed. There are so many factors and variables that may be contributing to burning feet it may take a lifetime to try and figure it out. Guess I'll keep flipping rocks. SSRIs worked the best. Unfortunately made my RLS worse. Had to choose the lesser of two evils.

If you have fibromyalgia, muscle pain, arthritis, or burning in the hands or feet you have pantothenic acid (B5) deficiency. Most people who start vitamin D supplementation (without correcting the intestinal bacteria) eventually become B5 deficient and start to wake with pain in the morning.
.... In order to make those repairs you need all 8 B vitamins. The B vitamins are the building blocks of repair. Never take B vitamins (except for B12) individually. The B vitamins have always come together in a specific relationship to one another and are very biologically intertwined. If you take one B you should take all of them.
Why 'except B12'? I always thouht it was essential to take all the others when taking B12.
I think she means you can take B12 on its own (as an extra)
But important to take other B vitamins together as vitamin B complex
OK, but that's really not very clear, is it. I can imagine a lot of people getting confused with that. So, perhaps not a very good idea to repeat it. 
I get burning feet and hands and get throbbing pain in my feet (like they’ve been hit with a baseball bat). Doc says it’s peripheral neuropathy. There are meds that help. Maybe talk to your go? It’s really horrid...I hope you get some help.
Hi Puffyface,
Seen my doc who asures me he can give me meds for this but wants to do an US first fingers crossed.
The soles of my feed are pretty numb from peripheral neuropathy, and are getting worse. The GP was not interested. I did recently turn the burning down from gas mark 12 to gas mark 7 by rubbing them hard every night with a bit of baby oil, which I suppose just increased the blood flow a bit, and may be worth trying.

As you had extremely low vitamin D in recent post ...and are now presumably supplementing vitamin D at fairly high dose ...this can exacerbate low B vitamins
Are you supplementing a good quality vitamin B complex?

In YouTube video when Dr Gominak talks about vitamin D levels ...vitamin D at 40ng/ml (USA units) is equal to 100nmol (UK units)
Very low vitamin levels suggests inadequate dose thyroid hormones
I started with tingling and numb patches and then sharp shooting pans. I started takng a B complex and the tingling and shooting pains went. Still have numb patches. I was Hypo at the time x
