This depends: If you have had a low back injury, this could be evidence of a "slipped disc". If you have a condition like " sugar diabetes ", it could be a neuropathy. If the tingly feeling happens when you walk but goes away quickly when you stop and rest, you coud be having circulatory issues like "pad". See your doc and tell him about this issue.

Depends . . .: Uncontrolled diabetes can lead to nerve damage that presents as tingling. So can vitamin B12 deficiency. Spinal cord damage or some other pinched nerve might do this, too. As can stroke especially if sudden onset w/muscle weakness too. Best to go see your family doc for evaluation. If worried about stroke, go to er w/certified stroke center as you have less than 3hrs to reverse blockage & prevent.
