Introduction[edit | edit source]

Grierson-Gopalan Syndrome, also known as "Burning feet syndrome (BFS)", is characterized by burning and heaviness in the feet and lower extremities. Grierson-Gopalan syndrome was first described by Grierson, in 1826, the earliest to document such a symptom, but Gopalan later gave a detailed description in 1946.[1]
