Hello user,
The most common and the most simple cause of tingling sensation in any part of body is due to vitamin and mineral deficiency, which can be easily managed by consuming vitamin supplements.
But I think yours tingling sensation is due to some nerve compression, which might be due to spondolytis of neck vertebrae.
You are hereby advised to wait for MRI reports and take treatments according to reports.
hope my info helped you
