Burning pain for past 6 years

Hello,

26 Years old man with burning type pain for the past 5-6 years that has left 1 podiatrist and 2 orthopedist baffled.

Pain is hard to describe but its a very intense burning sensation on the front bottom of both foot when weight is applied, I also had pain in the arch but that was treated with custom orthotics. The pain gets unbearable after 30 to 40 minutes of standing up or walking and have to begin resting by sitting down and removing the weight from the foot.

I was very obese 2 years ago and doctors mostly said it was the reason for the pain, I have since lost alot of the weight (350 to 250) and have seen NO decrease in pain at all.

First saw a Podiatrist, He mentioned i had high archs and short achilles tendon, suggested custom orthothics, returned a few weeks later because the pain in the forefoot had not diminished. He did some more test and pressed on the top of the foot in between the metatarsal which was painful.

He mentions a possibility of Morton's Neuroma but cant do anything about it until he gets a diagnostic from a MRI (shots or even surgery)

To request an MRI where I live in Canada, I need to go through a orthopedic, I have seen two and they both shot down the possibly of Morton's Neuroma claiming I did not feel enough pain when they "squeezed" the sides of the foot and that the only thing that could help me were custom orthotics, that I already have.

Learned about Tarsal Tunnel syndrome last week and seriously doubt I have that as i dont have pain during rest, in the night, tingling, numbness or heel pain, only when weight is applied.


Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
