Yes: It could be related. You are quite young for osteoarthritis so another possibility is a herniated or bulging disc. This can touch a nerve root in your spine and cause pain/tingling/burning in the distribution of that nerve. It can also cause pain in the back itself, especially with an annular tear. If this pain and sensation in your calf persist, it warrants evaluation.

Hi. I have lower back pain and a strange tingling sensation in my lower back just to the left of my spine near my bottom which shoots down my left leg and makes my knee give way. What could this be? I lift heavy things at work which doesn't help.
