What Causes Numbness And Tingling Sensation In Foot?

Hi, I fractured the head if my 5th metatarsal about 3 weeks ago but recently, it has started to really tingle, have really sharp shooting pains and go numb on the opposite side of my foot to the fracture and the top of my foot. Not sure if this is normal but I wasn't given anything for my foot I am still unable to wear a shoe - I don't want the problems to be permanent if I don't do anything but don't know what would be best!
