Does Serious Back Injury Lead To Infertility Problem?

Hello. When I was around 14 years old I suffered a back injury on a trampoline. I experienced brief paralysis of my legs for about 60 seconds. I ve lived in pain ever since. At the age of 34 I started visiting a doctor and according to the MRI I suffered a hemorrhaged L5 s1 vertebrae and now have a degenerative L4. I m going this week to have another MRI which will include the S1 through S5. I m now 42 with no children. Just wondering if the damaged caused when I was young is causing me to not have children.
