Answers:
That 'pins and needles' feeling can come from a compressed nerve!. You ask how do I know that!. My ring finger and pinkie finger of my left hand developed that sensation which would not go away!. I've been diagnosed with Ulnar syndrome which is a compressed nerve (the Ulnar nerve) near the elbow!. It's that nerve that causes the shock when you "hit your crazy bone"!. Yes mine should improve in about 4 weeks if not I might need surgical intervention!. it's more annoying than painful at this point!.

This condition is similar to neropathy!. Quote: "Neuropathy often results in numbness, abnormal sensations called dysesthesias and allodynias that occur either spontaneously or in reaction to external stimuli, and a characteristic form of pain, called neuropathic pain or neuralgia, that is qualitatively different from the ordinary nociceptive pain one might experience from stubbing a toe!.

Neuropathic pain may have continuous and/or episodic (paroxysmal) components!. The latter are likened to an electric shock!. Common qualities of the pain include burning or coldness, "pins and needles" sensations, numbness and itching!. "Ordinary" pain results from exclusive stimulation of pain fibers, while neuropathic pain often results from the firing of both pain and non-pain (touch, warm, cool) sensory nerve fibers serving the same area!. The result is signals that the spinal cord and brain do not normally receive!."

Pins and Needles come for the haberdashery, they are small pins for use in clothes making, and stitching, they are usually made in a factory, and you can normally just get rid of them by throwing them in the bin, mind you now a days you'd probably have to recycle them!.

i just thought this was a good answer for a question that no one had answered,


NB: bad circulation of the blood normally

When blood has been cut of from part of the body and gone numb the nerve ends 'go to sleep'!. When blood starts to flow back is when you get the pins and needles sensation!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
