Would appreciate any advice on what doctor to see regarding burning, pain, numbness, and neuropathy of the feet and toes. My wife has this problem, and it is bothering her considerably.

She has also had some back pain and difficulty with walking in the past few months, but recently her walking ability has improved a little. The back pain is likely related to the curvature of her spine which has been abnormal for many, many years.

The thing that bothers her the most is the constant numbness and burning of her feet and toes. It even affects her sleep at night. She often has to get up at night due to her feet burning. Some creams can numb the burning for an hour or so, but the burning returns repeatedly regardless of what she puts on them.

Any recommendations for a good doctor in the Leesburg or Clermont area or even further away, if necessary, would be appreciated.
