The other possibility of the numbness/ tingling sensation could be due to a spine problem. One of the nerve roots in the spine might be pinched.

We (Orthopaedic surgeons) would need to do a thorough assessment (including a MRI scan) to find out what's the root cause of your symptoms.

Hope we cleared some doubts for you.

Cheers!
