Spinal tumor. . .no. Of course I couldn't tell you for sure without an MRI, so you should probably see your family doc and he or she should order one.
Damaged nervous system. . . maybe. That's a broad range of things though. If you're feeling tingling sensations randomly, it's most likely due to complications with the nerve that provides sensory to that particular part of the body. What's causing that nerve to have problems is anyone's guess, but it's usually due from a compressed disk in your back, pinching on that particular nerve. Remember that the nerves that come off the lower spinal column (your lower back) travel to your leg and all the way down to your feet.
Like I mentioned before, if you see your doc, they should order the proper tests to find out what's causing the tingling sensations. An MRI of the spine is a good place to start.
