Brief Answer:
Yes, they are related.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

The tingling sensation and the numbness of the right thigh is indeed related to the pinched nerves. You might need vertebral traction. Discuss with your orthopedician and physical therapist about the same.
