What Causes Numbness And Tingling Sensation In Feet After A Back Fracture?

Hello and thank you. I have a fractured back, but for the last several weeks, I have had severe foot pain; they feel numb and tingly. I don t know if this could somehow be related. I fractured my back one year ago this month but the extreme foot (feet) pain started more recently.
