I had a chiropractic adjustment of my lower back last week. Since then I have tingling in my legs. If I wiggle my calf with my hands or massage my legs from the knee down my legs tingle more. Almost like they're falling asleep. Does this sound like my chiro pinched a nerve maybe?

Yes, that does sound like an issue with nerve impingement... You might want to go see a Neurologist to get this confirmed, and/or treated. Take care,

Thank you for your input
