What Causes The Numbness And Tingling Inside The Foot Leading To Back Pain?

I've broken my ankle twice and both times we're about a year apart. I've had problems with it since then. But now, from my toes to about the middle of my foot, all the way around it feels like it is asleep, it is all tingling inside and the rest of it up to my ankle hurts. I've cried multiple times over it but I think I've found a way to walk on it where it I can cope a little better. Now my lower and middle back has started to hurt. My questions, what could be causing my foot to feel like it does, and could this be causing my back pain. I don't have a regular doctor right now, should I go to the ER?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.
Due to compression of this nerve root there can be foot pain.
I will advise you to do MRI spine and EMG-NCV [nerve conduction study].
You may need clinical examination for confirmation.

For these symptoms neurotropic medication can be started.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care
