My wife has been experiencing burning sensations in her feet. On investigation, we found that her Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D levels are low. She is a pure vegetarian and does not consume eggs. Could these vitamin deficiencies be the cause of her problem? I am attaching the report for your review.

Burning feet can be due to low Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D. These deficiencies affect nerve health. Supplements are usually needed. Recheck levels after a few weeks.
