I would suggest you see a neurologist to see if the symptoms are consistent with something along that nerve track. Sometimes with neurological problems, you get tingling sensations and it sounds by your description that it could all be related to a common nerve.

Great. Let me know how it goes. I hope that the neurologist figures it out and solves your problem.
