Hello, it is unlikely that an L1 fracture cause the numbness in your foot alone. Especially when the MRI was normal. This might be a new symptom because of some other pathology. Please get yourself evaluated by having an orthopaedic surgeon look at you. Hope this helps.

If the earlier MRi was done for L1 fracture and before the onset of current symptoms then you will need to repeat the MRI OF LS spine

Kindly enclose the mri here. Most likely looks like nerve compression symptoms to me.
