What Causes Tingling Sensation In The Leg?

My question is I have had pain off and on for three years, at times quite severe. I still do my part job and house and yard work at age 81, BUT I m sick of the pain. It is in buttock and into hip area. At times runs into groin muscle. Often I have pain on outer thigh area and sometimes in shin area. Sometimes it goes into tingling in front of leg and arch of foot. One side only. I wonder if it might be periformis syndrome? I am seeing a chiropractor which keeps me going, but not a cure. PT here is hard to get into as over busy. I had acupuncture which did take care of it for a number of months, BUT can t afford that out of pocket expense anymore. What can I do??

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,
Thank you for using Healthcaremagic.
I read your question and understood your concern.
I suggets you get a MRI of lower lumbar spine as this seems a problem of that region ( discal hernia or degeneration) and see a neurologist.
