Question
Andyman73
So, I recently began feeling like my feet are on fire. It feels like I stepped into a campfire that's been tamped down, no visible flames, but still very hot down under. It comes and goes, no rhyme or reason. Also, for a year or two been getting the same on the back of my L hand. It's not hot enough to make me holler, but nearly so. I told my PCP a while back, about the hand fire, said it feels like scalding hot water was poured on it. Feet fire feels a little different. While the hand burning feels like it's on the outside, the feet fire goes all through, skin, flesh, bone even.
Nothing makes my MDD seem so much better like adding more fuel to the fire(pun intended). Any ideas what can cause that type of sensation? I know it's not diabetic nuropathy, as I get my blood checked several times a year...and my sugars are well within the normal operating range.

Not much to speculate on, do you have herniated discs, or other forms of neuropathy present? Besides diabetes, alcohol abuse (if applicable) can also cause this, or this short list of issues you

Not a problem, many of us that "did what we were told" in order to keep the front lines tight. It still amazes me to this day that the DoD could get away with separating me at 10% and the VA at 40%.

You would think that there must be something more to it, than just a 10%, if that's what they told you rated at, but separated you anyway. I saw something recently, and I think their ratings are
