Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hi
Your spouse suffered back injury, has no fractures but is feeling numbness and tingling in arms and legs.
In my opinion this situation arises when when there is a particular type of injury in the neck or there might be traumatic Disc prolapse in neck and back.
I suggest you get one MRI of neck to rule out any major soft tissue injury.
I find this answer helpful
