Referred or radiating pain from the spine can certainly affect the buttocks and thighs. Tingling of the thigh is a symptom of spinal stenosis at a higher level particularly L1-L3. It may also be seen after long-standing diabetes and is called neuralgia parenthetical. If the pain and tingling is getting worse it is advisable to obtain MRI imaging of the spine to find out the cause. Please let me know if I can be of any further help.
