Just received a cleaned bill of health from my doctor recently.

Have not been diagnosed as a diabetic, but have had several issues with my back.

Anybody else on here have a similar issue? What might be the cause?

It's your back, no doubt.  You probably have a herniated disc in your L4/L5 region protruding into your sciatic nerve.  (SPineal nerve) that nerve runs all the way took your feet. 

I feel like I have planter fascia, feet feel like they fall asleep, etc and also get shooting pain to testicular area.  I got an mri that revealed two herniated discs I have been living with for 2 years.  Further investigation showed my L5 has been reduced by 80% and my L4 is also degenerated.  I've had two epidural back shots that have only causes more pain, and two sessions of physical therapy. I have a second opinion with a Nuero surgeon. 

Oh yea I'm not even 30 and j am in good shape (not great... Anymore). Used to run marathons and work out like crazy.  

Bottom line, I would get it looked at but be prepared to spend a lot of money.  I'm already out of pocket for the year over $2500 and my mri was billed last year so my bill doesn't include that.  "Luckily" my deductible is only $3000 so expenses are almost over. But probably looking at some sort of surgery towards end of summer. 

Short story- it's your back.
