Hello and welcome to HCM,
Tingling sensation experienced in legs is probably due to disc herniation at the level of T11-T12.
The pain caused by disc herniation can be controlled by pain killers and physiotherapy.
Depending on the degree of disc herniation, different measures are available to treat the disc herniation.
Initial herniation is managed by rest and painkillers.
Levels T11-T12 are difficult to operate safely, however, complication can be managed by appropriate measures,
You may consult your doctor for conservative measues to provide relief to the painful area.

Thanks and take care
