Sound like maybe a pinched nerve.  Call your doc.

Is it constant, or do you notice that it happens only when your let is in a certain position, such as if you're cutting off circulation? I think you should talk to your doctor as well, but I had constant tingling like numbness after surgery. It was always in my feet and legs, like I was cutting of circulation. I just realized reading this post that it's been gone a long time. I thought I was going to live with it the rest of my life.

Sometimes you can get a numb nerve feeling if the doctor has touched or moved a nerve during surgery. Let your surgeon know, but it most likely will go away within the next few weeks.

I have a numb spot on my right leg just above my knee. It's about 4 by 3. I've had it ever since my surgery. Every once in a while it will tingle, itch or just plan sting. I googled it and came up with meralgia paraesthetica. It fits every symptom I have, maybe it will shed some light on your leg issue.
