Suggest Remedy For Tingling Sensation In Legs In An Elderly Person

I'm 65 in good health. A non-smoker and not overweight. No diabetes. I do have some osteo arthritis. I have tingling in my legs and my feet often feel chilled and legs too. But not cold to the touch. I really try to always wear warm clothes but still get this tingling... especially when I am in bed and want to sleep. any suggestions? Thanks.
