The tingling sounds like nerve compression and/or damage. See a Dr.
Nerves take a considerable amount of time to heal. If there is something like a bone chip impinging the nerve it may get worse if it's not taken care of asap.
-BTW, arthritis simply means "joint inflammation" but doesn't say what is causing the inflammation. A couple different types of arthritis exist and they are treated or managed differently. The five cardinal signs of inflammation are heat, pain, redness, swelling and dysfunction. With any three present the area is probably inflammed. Inflammation is the body's healing mechanism.

Muscles can have knots (trigger points) that make them tight which in turn put pressure on nerves and other things causing pain.
Molasses - a couple of swigs or Bananas 1 or 2 - both contain magnesium and potassium for muscles.
Try working with the principles taught in The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies.
I use a chiropractor and massage therapist with it
