Hello,

That can occur due to compression of sciatic nerve at gluteal region.

As you are old that is the most likely due to as the age increases the degenerative process in spine can occur and root compression. Start which cause this pain and tingling.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
