Burning Feet? Neurologist Explains Gout and Neuropathy

Burning Feet: Gout or Neuropathy? A Neurologist Weighs In A recent short video by neurologist Dr. Peskov has sparked online discussion about the causes of burning feet. In the video, filmed outdoors in what appears to be Germany, Dr. Peskov addresses a viewer's comment about this common ailment. He explains that burning feet can be a symptom of either gout or neuropathy. "If your feet are burning, and particularly if you have swelling or redness in your big toe, it could be gout," Dr. Peskov explains. "To confirm a diagnosis, it's crucial to get your uric acid levels checked through a blood test." He also suggests that persistent burning in the feet, without other symptoms, could indicate neuropathy. Dr. Peskov's video highlights the importance of seeking professional medical advice for persistent foot pain. He provides his Telegram contact information for those seeking further consultation. While the video itself is brief, it serves as a reminder to address health concerns promptly and consult with a healthcare professional for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
