It's possible that these symptoms are related to something in your spine, but it's possible they are something else. I have those symptoms, and significant spine issues - cervical and lumbar, but the numbness & tingling I have are peripheral neuropathy, which can have many causes - some of which are unknown, but it's common to manifest after age 60.

Would you say the numbness & tingling is the same on both sides or worse on one side than the other?
