Lightbulb could be

sciatica. Sciatica is often felt in the feet.

Are you having muscle tension/spasms/twitching anywhere?

Magnesium supplements or foods high in mag may help relax muscles that are pinching nerves. And yes, stress is tough. Your stress especially.

Doctors have found that stress constricts certain blood vessels in the back, neck or wherever and this leads to less blood supply and then ischemic pain.
Magnesium dilates blood vessels and helps relax them. It also calms overactive nerves.

I have a magnesium thread here:

There are foods you can choose to improve your magnesium levels, and some drugs actually deplete magnesium. Magnesium is lost during stress too.
