You may have spinal canal stenosis which leads to compression of spinal cord which later on supply lower limb [leg].Due to compression of this nerve root there is tingling numbness in your foot and pain associated with it.
Another differential is mortans neuralgia in which there is neuroma formation between web space of toes.
For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started. I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level,and uric acid level
