Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you are suffering from generalised osteoarthritis. Probably it involved cervical spine and lumbar spine leading to these symptoms, but you are now tingling sensations in tongue and lips also.I think other causes of nueropathy such as diabetic,thyroid and vitaminB12 deficiency should be looked for. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
