this just started and I will make a doctor's appointment but was wondering if this pain could be part of peripheral neuropathy

it started one night and is very distinctly in the heel of my right foot and goes all the way up my leg but not all the time and it does not feel muscular but nerve related

I am going through a lot of stress right now but this seems very different. If anyone could give me some idea for a search I would appreciate it
