Your symptoms like Tingling sensation on the foot, pain in the back of thigh shows that there is a nerve compression at the low back.
Some people may get these symptoms without back pain.
Next Steps
You need to consult a Physiotherapist or Orthopaedist in person or through video call for further evaluation and treatment.

All pain down the leg need not be sciatica. Facet joints (side of the spine) some gluteal muscles could bring about similar symptoms. Also the sacroiliac joint(tail bone area) could bring such symptoms.
To rule out the knee, straightening and bending of the knee need to be full range without pain.
The foot, if there is flat foot it could lead up the structures above. This could also bring on pain in these areas
You need a Musculoskeletal and Sports physiotherapist assessment.

Use ice pack or hot water bag three times a day 10 min-15min.
