Get Checked: If the heel life change was too dramatic height wise id could have changed your gait and affected your back. Persistent numbness and tingling is usually due to nerve irritation. Please consult with your doctor.

Neruopathy: If the nerve is damaged or entrapped it may lead to numbness or weakness. Have it evaluated by a professional.
