Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I have studied your case.
Possibility could be of lumbar disc compressing nerve root leading to sharp pain in foot.
I will advise you to do MRI spine to see for any disc bulge.

Another possibility of arthritis and associated plantar fascitis.
X ray foot will rule out arthritis.

For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication like pregabalin can be started consulting your doctor.

Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.
