Simply a guess, but you might well be speaking of the protrusion of bone know as the styloid process of the base (tuborosity) of the 5th metatarsal. This is an area that is not uncommonly irritated by both over and undersized shoes, especially if there is not much fatty padding in the foot, and also is subject to injury through inversion trauma to the foot, as well as inversion sprains of the ankle. Also, the sural nerve courses in the general area which I suspect, and irritation of that nerve might be responsible for the burning sensations. It is, of course, impossible for me to delineate any precise injury to the bone or other tissues, if, in fact, I have guessed the correct location. But I would have to wonder why anyone would not have already seen a doctor regarding a condition which has presented severe burning pain for 6 months. I would think that at least a visit to obtain a diagnosis and proposed treatment plan would be in your best interest, especially if you would like some general feedback from Internet forums.
