HI,
I understand your query.
The pain n back radiating to your toe, having burning in the arch of your right foot seems to be due to lumber spinal problem.-which leads pressure on femoral nerve, Tibial nerve compression give signs of right foot arch.
please get your x ray of lumber spine done to get exact cause - ( lumber spondelitis, slipped disc, sciatica,)
Treatment is mainly by relieving pain by anti inflammatory drugs/ cortisones & physio therapy./ surgery to relieve the compression is needed in some cases.
Thanks.
