Hi @maryjane67 - as far as I'm aware, the cause of this is often unknown, & I don't think arthritis & burning feet syndrome are linked. I would suggest you discuss this further with your GP or specialist, however.

Meanwhile, there's some info here: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/erythromelalgia/   & the website mentioned there gives useful advice & some understanding of the condition, &, importantly, what may help. Please see: https://erythromelalgia.org/    altho it's USA-based, as this is a somewhat rare disorder, they have members from 17 countries.

You're welcome @maryjane67 - I'm sorry your GP seems disinterested. I wonder if you could speak to another GP to see if they're more helpful. Meanwhile, there's a guide for patients from the 2nd link I gave above. Please see: https://erythromelalgia.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/TEA-PatientGuideBook-1.pdf
