Hello,
Good day.
Pain in the foot could be of multiple reasons. First of all your diabetes is not controlled and it can cause problems like neuropathy and plantar fasciitis ( where the tissues in legs will get stiff). The other reasons of foot pain could be because of vertebral problems. Physical examination is required to diagnose correctly. I would suggest you to meet a neurologist for further evaluation
Wish you a speedy recovery
