What Causes Tingling Sensation In The Thighs?

I had outpatient surgery Nov 2013 by a neurosurgeon for Transpedicular DCMPRN spinal cord 1 SEG Lumbar. Since that time I have had a tingling sensation in my right thigh which I was told happens in some cases. The last month or so it has gotten worse and is now accompanied by a burning sensation in the area of the operation. I am also experiencing a tightness feeling from my right lower back around to the front just below the rib cage. Can you give me some advice?

Hello,

Consult a neurologist and get evaluated.

Detailed evaluation is required including an MRI scan to rule out spine related problems.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
