Brief Answer:
Neuropathy
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I can see that you have gone through many things. However, the tingling and numbness is likely to be due to neuropathy which often occurs due to deficiency of a B vitamin called methylcobalamine. Taking Methylcobalamine 1500 mcg once daily for at least a couple of weeks should provide relief.
There could also be a nerve compression involved in which physical therapy can help.
Feel free to write back.
