Does T11 compression fracture cause bilateral leg calf & feet pain?

I have a T11 compression fracture with wedging confirmed only by exrays and neuro. I am scheduled for MRI. I have severe lower back, hips, legs and feet pain. I was unaware that a T11 problem could cause my symptoms. Has anyone ever had these symptoms with a T11 problem? Thanks for any help given.

Don't know what to do about the back,hips, legs, calves, and especially the feet pain. Need direction and advice. Will greatly appreciate any help I receive. Thank You, Lois

Thanks Pete

The injury is so old I am really concerned. Looks as if you have had your trials and mine doesn't compare. Bless You.
I have researched the pages you suggested and realize that T11 can cause these problems. Thanks for answering and God Bless You.

it doesnt matter...all back problems hurt....whether its one problem area or 20. sometimes just one hurts more because you focus more on it......

Lois - did you have your surgery yet?

Hi Lois,

I'm interested in your story because you said your injury is old.
How old is the injury?
Did you have the procedure yet?

Thanks so much!
Kerr
