Q I had blood tests and nerve tests done and everything came back normal. So why does the burning continue?
A Burning can continue even when tests come back normal. Blood and nerve tests look at structural problems or specific values, and a functional balance issue like thinned fluid reserves often isn't captured. A normal result should be read as ruling out a dangerous cause.
Detailed Answer
It is not rare for palms and soles to keep burning even when tests show nothing unusual. Rather than structural damage or abnormal values, it is more likely that the body's overall fluid and heat-regulation balance has been disturbed. This type often isn't picked up by blood tests or general nerve tests.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
A normal test result means a dangerous cause has been ruled out — it does not mean the discomfort is not real. From this point, it is more practical to narrow down the cause by looking at your constitution, fluid state, and lifestyle pattern together.
