Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi there.

It is possible that you have a pinched nerve in the back or one of the muscles around your hip is thicker and the sharp border may be rubbing against or compressing the nerves going to your leg. This can cause tingling sensation. I advise you to exercise regularly to stay fit and reduce obesity. Keep well hydrated. Avoid bending forwards or lifting heavy weights. Wear Lumbar belt. Get an Orthopedic consult to rule out these disorders with proper clinical examination and investigations like X-Ray or MRI as necessary to decide the appropriate treatment.
