Just noticed my feet are two different colours. I suffer from horrendous burning in my legs and feet. But one foot is quite a pinky colour and the other is darker. Anyone know the reason for this?

It's possibly a sign of lymphoedema, which can have a multitude of causes. While lymphoedema is primarily characterised by swelling, there can be other, less noticeable changes (such as skin colour) which indicate its presence. (When I attended the lymphoedema clinic at my local hospital, I was only aware of the problem being present in my left legs and foot but the nurse could see it on the right side too):

It might also be linked to peripheral neuropathy:

Either way, there's probably an underlying cause, so you need to seek a medical opinion in order to identify and treat that cause.
^^^ "left legs"??? Plural? I'm turning into a centipede! ;-)
Mine is also diagnosed as peripheral neuropathy. I am prescribed Thiamine tablets for it but they don't ruddy work much.
