It is hard to give a definitive diagnosis based on the data you provided. It is possible that you might be experiencing a neural issue. The cramps and the tingling sensations might be due to a formation that puts pressure on the nerves. Whether the location of this formation is in the spine or along the nerves can not be determined without further additional diagnostic procedures: a physical exam by a neurologist, a CT scan or MRI of the spine, and additional tests for the foot nerves.
