Google plantar fasciitis. Think that might be your problem. I have it in my left foot and it can be agonising. Even having lost weight it hasn't gone. In fact, I think because I walk so much now it isn't getting a chance to heal. Capsicum gel seems to be the best remedy for it and I get it here in the UK from Amazon. Hope this helps.

Is it worse when you first get up? Plantar fasciitis is terribly painful but can be treated. Mine is gone.

Burning might be neuropathy....can you describe it a bit more?

Either condition warrants a doc visit.

If blood work is okay...I would go to a Podiatrist or Foot Specialist. You may need a cortisone shot. They should also xray to see if you have a heel spur. Sneakers did not help me. After the cortisone shots (needed more than 1) - I did well when wearing a high flip flop with a 1 1/2 inch wedge or a nurses clog like shoe when necessary (if I couldn't get away with flip flops). Also I find Merrell hikers work well instead of a normal sneaker. I also got a brace/boot to wear at night to keep my foot at a certain angle. I hope something works for you - it sure is miserable!

My plantar fasciitis has reocurred(mild), I had forgotten I do experience some burning sensation with it. Going barefoot and wearing crappy non supportive ( but cute!) Shoes is exactly what triggers a recurrence for me.

So try never going barefoot including getting out of bed! I also rolled my foot over a cold soda pop can. Stretches and brings down inflammation. It took months to fix the initial occurrence and I do get mild flareups whenever I go back to my barefoot ways.

Here in the UK I wear FitFlops a lot but have discovered Sketchers recently. They are so light and comfortable and great fun for us girls of a certain age. Apparently they are NOT cool for teenagers! My PF comes and goes in various painful episodes but walking around in bare feet does me no favours at all. I need to shove my feet into something which, now that the British weather is showing signs of dawdling into spring is not something I want to always do. I love traipsing around with no socks and shoes on. I'm hooked on a capsicum gel called Perskindol which I got through Amazon, although I'm pretty sure that in the States you have a much larger selection that you can get from pharmacies, and it works wonders. I got it for my builder husband's sore bits but have purloined it for myself. Brilliant stuff for us footsore people.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
