Hi,
What I feel with the history is your husband my feeling tingling sensation from me to the foot. This kind of tickling sensation can happen due to alteration in the function of the Nerve.
So this indicates to me that there might be some nerve root entrapment leading to alterations in the function of the nerve. So I would advise you to take an MRI of the lumbar spine and get back.
In my clinical experience of 12 years most patients have complaints similar to what your husband is providing. We do it for assessment examination and take help of the MRI scan to confirm the degenerative changes in lumbar spine leading to the alteration of the sensory system and altered feeling sensation from knee to feet. Most patients recover by using lumbar spine brace and exercises.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
