Yes.
Great question. There are different etiologies for tingling sensation, one of those is "pinched nerve". There are different way to diagnose and treat this condition and you should definitely see your physician for further management.
Yes, a nerve impingement can cause tingling in the legs; A herniated disc can also cause tingling. If this continues, you will need to have an xray or MRI of your lower back. Many times this can be treated with physical therapy.
