Hello and thanks for using HealthcareMagic
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
Tingling sensation mostly indicates peripheral nerves involvement.
Conditions that may cause it include peripheral neuropathy (diabetes, viral infections, alcohol-if any, low vitamin B12, side effects of certain drugs, etc.), nerves compression syndromes, (carpal and ulnar tunnel syndromes), pinched nerves at their exit from spinal cord.
Getting evaluated by a Neurologist and by tests such nerve conduction study etc., is necessary to get a correct diagnosis.
