In a patient with a history of burning pain localized to the plantar aspect of the foot, the differential diagnosis must include -
Peripheral vascular disease
Tarsal coalation.
Tarsal tunnel syndrome
Planter fibromatosis
Three most common caused of pain in the plantar aspect of the foot are plantar fasciitis, tarsal tunnel syndrome, and posterior tibial tendinopathy.
Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause; however, burning pain is characteristic of neural pain.

"If the patient describes the sensation as `burning "tingling ' or `numbness', the cause is peripheral nerve entrapment" __Neuromedicine
