Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Based on your symptoms, it is possible that there is a pinched nerve at the lower back (lumbar) region, which can give rise to pain in the foot and toes, along with tingling, which can worsen on walking.
Regarding the reduced blood supply to brain, it is less likely in the absence of risk factors (such as high BP, cholesterol or sugars, and smoking).
A deficiency of vitamin B 12 should also be excluded (by a blood test) that could lead to tingling of fingers and toes.
I hope this helps.
Please get back if you require any additional information.
