Brief Answer:
Neurological examination and tests are necessary.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

Vibrating feeling and occasional tingling indicate sensory part of the nervous system involvement.

There may be damage of peripheral nerves ( peripheral neuropathy ), or spinal cord involvement ( stenosis, spondylolysthesis etc.) involvement that may cause such sensory disturbances.

In my opinion, a thorough evaluation with neurological examination, tests such nerve conduction study and blood tests about neuropathy causes, imaging of your spine (MRI), are necessary to get a correct understanding of your condition and to achieve a correct diagnosis.

Discuss with your Neurologist about these issues.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Greetings.
