Fire in toes

I have a new symptom and wondering if it's RA related. I know I ask some odd questions but I can't help what my body is doing.

Anyway, my left foot...just my toes...feels like they are being held over a flame. The heat feeling comes and goes like a pulse. It's not painful and dirsn't feel feverish from the outside. It's totally inside. RA or maybe s nerve????

Something else...my right shin sometimes feel like I've spilled colf water on it....but I haven't...comes and goes....nerves???

Just trying to sort it all out

The burning in toes is normal RA. Usually have that in a flare, my right toes are burning now. My big toe the worse. Sometimes I soak my feet in cool water for relief.

I have the burning. Mostly my big toes, but no discrimination there.
Very painful, wakes me up more then I'd prefer.
Feels like Neuropathy, that may be what it is. My RA & nuero both stated RA can cause it. Have it in my hands from my cervical spine.
Landed me in ER & the hospital.
Scares me but thus far it passes in the toes. Thanks be to god.
Glad you posted this wondered if this was common & wasn't sure if it was all from my back.
Good luck, Sammy

I have it too. It's actually a symptom that I had before diagnosis-didn't realize that it was RA effected. Although I'm doing really well on humira, this is one thing that continues, especially after a long work week.

Yep, it actually was my first symptom! Initially my internist checked me for circulatory issues because of that complaint.

Me too..Actually had to get up out of bed last night. My toes seem to bother me the most when Im trying to sleep. They burn like fire, and I acutally feel like someone is sticking me with needles. The pain come from the bottom of my toes to the top of my foot.

Frustrating...
