Why do I get pins and needles?
959718
The pins & needles sensation comes from the blood rushing back into your limbs, after having been temporarily limited due to pressure exerted on your leg, foot, arm or other body part. When sitting in a certain position for a length of time, you may be cutting off the flow of blood to your foot. Since it seems to always be your right foot, then that's the side you probably lean on a little more than the other side, such as when you're reading (yes, many people read while on the potty!). It's a normal thing that happens to millions of people every day, so there's no need to worry about something being wrong with you. If you find that you HAVE to sit for long periods of time (on the potty), you might need to change your diet, so as to make your bowels move more comfortably. Talk to your doctor about it, and see what he suggests. <*)))><

What side of the bed do you wake up on? If its the same side that your leg is numb then the answer to your problem is that you sleep on that side all night,causing it to go numb.\nWhen you sleep on one side all night you restrict the blood flow going to that area, hence pins and needles or a dead feeling. Try going to sleep in another position if not doing some stretches when you wake up. Let me know how you go...

well getting stitches is no big deal.  its when they numb you with the darn needle where you cut yourself. I have had several stitches and one being on my index finger and holy moly i almost killed the nurse it hurt bad when the needle went inside where i just cut myself.  bring a pillow so u can sceam into or ask to hold someone's hand.  i know i needed it.

I don't know the details of your back pain (e.g. duration, history of trauma, your age, gender), so i can't tell what's wrong with it. Hope this helps.\n\nUsually, tingling sensation, numbness, pins and needles and burning sensation are signs of neurological problems.\n\nIn your case, i think it is your back pain that is causing the problem. Maybe you are having a disc prolapse that is compressing on the spinal nerve. This can lead to the signs described above at various locations of the leg, depending on which nerve the prolapsed disc is compressing. Example, if the signs are located at the lateral (outer) side of the thigh, then it is caused by compression of the lateral cutaneous nerve of the thigh.\n\nConsult your doctor if you have any doubt. They are the professional. I'm not.

it means you should talk to your doctor - you might have something else.

I don't know if all of your symptoms are possibly related, but I would request an MRI.  It sounds neuronal (nerve pain). You know when you hit your funny bone? That's actually the ulnar nerve... that feeling of pins/needles could be a compression or it could be a blockage in the vascular system (blood).\n\nI would get both a EEG and an MRI. Don't ignore symptoms. If you are overweight it could be a sign of some sort of blockage in your brain!

You have to worry about infections whenever you draw blood.  So be careful to make sure the area you draw blood from is kept clean.

It's usually a sign of an infection.  See your doc.

Please check with your doctor. I could be an impingement (where an inflamed nerve is getting caught) and it can actually be from problem in your neck. Please don't disregard it, its something a doctor will need to do x-rays for. Good luck.

Let the doctor know.  I means you get another test. This happens frequently.

The tingling in your extremities could be caused from Diabetic Neuropathy. There are meds that can help control this. One very common one is Gabapentin or Neurontin. Your problem could also be caused from poor circulation. Go to your doctor and explain to him your symptoms, together you and your doctor can work out a plan.

You should be aware that OSHA Has adopted regulations to avoid accidental needlesticks to prevent the transmission of disease between patients and health staffs.  There are now many competing designs.

Could mean you have a pinched nerve or you may need some potassium (bananas are a great source of this).

Well, my mother and I both had it. It comes from typing, writting etc.. too much. If it is bad the doctor will remove nerves in you wrists that are effecting the pain and tingling. If it isn't that bad it can go away, with a wrist brace, or less usage of the wrist. It really isn't nothing to worry about. Just try to use it less.
