My question is considering my grandfather’s health. He is seventy five years old and he is experiencing some problems with his feet. He is complaining on some burning sensation in his feet, but he cannot explain it in more detail. First, we thought that he is just tired from his daily long walks, but several days of rest did not help. My friend, a doctor, said that he might got infected by one of the viruses that cause small-fiber neuropathy. What do you think?

I will first say that small-fiber neuropathy belongs to nerve diseases that attack peripheral parts of our body. It is usually present in people of middle age and older ones. Burning pain in feet is a classic symptom of this condition. One of the viruses that is a most common cause of this illness, is a human immunodeficiency virus. I suppose that you will know more when he visits his doctor.
