Dr. Donald Colantino answered

Tingling: Such tingling is characteristic of nerve impingement somewhere in the neck or shoulder if the tingling is in the arm. It wouldn't explain associated tingling in the face or leg,however. A neurologist could evaluate and advise you best. Any appropriate tests would be ordered.
