Could be but...: I had a back problem a few years back and had tingling/foot drop. If there is a disk that may be ulcerated or swollen, it could be impinging on the nerves that travel to the foot. I would not hesitate to be evaluated. It may not be related, but be preventative

This will require: a medical history, physical exam and possibly other studies to answer. Take care.
