Brief Answer:
Yes

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for your query.
Oxycontin can produce tingling of the feet.
Tingling can also occur from pinched nerves by disc prolapse. Since you have back ache, this is also to be considered as a cause.
Do get back to me if you have further questions.
