Possibly.: Depends upon how long ago this occurred, but nerve regrowth is often heralded by odd neurologic sensations.

Tingling: Tingling, itching, burning, sharp pains- these are the sensations nerves undergo. If this occurs after numbness, perhaps it indicates some nerve regeneration. Hang in there- perhaps this is a good sign!
