I don't know, maybe this is what happened to me. I sprained my foot badly, and was misdiagnosed with anterior tibial tendon disfunction(2years). The burning started. I then had two ganglion cysts removed, that were deep into the structure of the ankle. At last I went to a orthopedic surgeon, who told me I have three torn tendons. Including the archilles, one on the right of the foot, and one on the left, which colapsed my foot. Nothing seems to stop the pins and needles, burn, but I do have a lotion with Katemine in it that helps. Is there any other kind of specialist who might examine me? The ortho would not do the operation to correct the structure of my foot, for fear of making the RSD worse. I am stuck. ginnie
