Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have tingling sensation in hands and arms along with numbness in legs . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like abnormal levels of vitamin B12 or other vitamins, potassium, calcium, or sodium , poor blood supply to the affected area , herniated disk in your spine , pressure on your nerves diabetes or transient ischemic attack . I would suggest you to put your legs in hot water tun with epsom salt for 15 minutes daily , drink plenty if water , eat vitamin and mineral rich food and do light exercise . Massage legs and arms gently with flax seed oil . If condition doesn't get well then consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination and treatment . Doctor may also refer you to neurologist for nerve problem .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
