Is Tingling In Hand A Side Effect Of Oxycodone Pills?

I had an Inguinal hernia (both sides) operation performed 3 pm EST yesterday (Tuesday). The pain medication prescribed is Oxycodone/Acetaminophen. I took the prescribed amount and have had a tingling sensation in my right hand, and also a slight numbness (almost like my hand is asleep). That started to occur at 6 am this morning and has not improved. Is that normal reaction. I have not ever needed to ever take any medication in my life. 57 year old male. Blood pressure 119/77
