Its a pinched nerve. use cold pompresses, and pain killers for the first few days, then try heat, If it continuse more than a few days, go to the doctor.

Sounds like your nerve is pinced, but you would know if you had carpel tunnel , it is bloody painful. See your doctor as sometimes the blood vessels shrink and can cause major problems.

maybe you have ants in your bed...from eating white bread and bologna...or maybe it's spiders, from the bad trip you took....or maybe you just have poor circulation? Look, heres a website for ya...\n\n \nWHAT CAUSES those pins and needles? Dr. Robert Daroff, a professor of neurology at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, explains that when sustained pressure is exerted on a portion of your leg, or any distal limb, one of two things usually happens. In some cases, arteries can become compressed, making them unable to supply local tissues and nerve cells with the nutrients (mainly oxygen and glucose) they need to function properly.\n\nOther times, nerve pathways can become blocked, preventing normal transmission of electrochemical impulses to the brain. Some of the nerves, starved or pinched or both, stop firing while others fire hyperactively. This leads to mixed signals being sent to the brain, where they are interpreted as burning, prickling or tingling feelings. It is these sensations, known medically as paresthesia, that alert you to move your foot.\n\nWhen you do so, the pressure on your arteries and nerves is released. As nutrient-rich blood flows back into the area and nerve cells start firing more regularly, the “pins and needles” feeling often intensifies until the neurons re-establish their normal transmission of electrochemical impulses.\n\nTrue, this is an uncomfortable process, but it’s actually beneficial.\n If we didn’t feel discomfort, we wouldn’t adjust our position — and harm could result. “Permanent damage can occur if blood flow is restricted and nerves are compressed for many hours,” according to Daroff.

Could be carpel tunnel syndrome, get it looked at by another doctor...;

Sounds like you have a virus if its just been recently.  If this occurs often maybe even food poisoning or something you are eating.  You should see a doc if it has occured often

There are many things that could cause this.\n\nYou shouldn't be asking here. See your doctor!

Go to the doctor.  It could be any number of things and no one here cand diagnosis it.  Sounds like a nerve problem (NOT poor circulation IMHO) that may be associated with diabetis, lupus, or some other serious health condition.  PLEASE go see a doctor!
