Tingling sensation around your calf and thigh points out to nerve compression symptoms..
This can happen at the level of your spine or your legs per say .. This can be due to disc issue or posture issues..
Proper clinical examination would help us know the exact cause of tingling..
If not associated with muscle weakness it shouldn't be a serious issue..
