Hi,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
After going through your query I think You are suffering from mortons neuroma.
In surgery some part of nerve is removed for pain relief so numbness and tingling may remain but this should not increase as you said. It should not cause any effect over hand.
So other causes of increasingly feeling pain tingles numbness heavy feeling should also be looked for ,such as diabetes.
I think your query answered.
