Question 1

is there a reason it feels like there are needles poking my feet?

Accepted Answer

Weird foot sensation: A good likelihood is that you may be experiencing some initial symptoms of neuropathy.  This can lead to weird altered sensations such as burning, tingling, and even increased warmth.  By controlling your blood sugar this can curb some of these weird sensations.  Also some of your medications may add to some weird sensations as well.  Just make sure there's no pins in your shoe gear.

Question 2

what causes pins and needles in your feet?

Accepted Answer

MANY things.: Could be peripheral neuropathy.  It could also be a reaction to a chemical in your house or a cleaning product.  Carbon monoxide exposure, heavy metal exposure (lead, arsenic), vitamin deficiency, radiation exposure, and electrolye imbalances are just a few possible causes.  See a doctor.

Question 3

whats the best way to get a broken sewing needle out of your foot?

Accepted Answer

Have doc do it: This is obviously going to have  an associated wound. If you mess around wit it without proper technique you can allow an infection to set up in the complex structures of the foot that could require surgical drainage or iV antibiotics as an inpatient. I would go to urgent care or your doc &amp; have it removed with proper safeguards.

Question 4

why does it feel like there are needles poking my feet all the time?

Accepted Answer

Probably a nerve: Note when you have this sensation.  Get checked by a podiatrist.  There are some diseases that have sensations that are associated with this, like diabetes.  Get checked.  It sounds nerve related.

Question 5

could nerves be affected if bloodflow/oxygen isn't flowing properly? have pins/needles, cold bluish feet (at times)

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: The pins/needles feeling could certainly be from decreased blood flow, as could the blue color you see. You are on several medications for blood pressure, so I recommend you see your doctor to check the pulses in your feet, and see if you need an adjustment to your medication, or to see if there is another cause of your symptoms. Go soon.

Question 6

i have a needle in my foot, what to do?

Accepted Answer

See foot doc: They will help remove, check tetanus history etc.

Question 7

what causes my feet to feel like pins and needles i have hydrocephalus?

Accepted Answer

Neuropathy: Pins and needle sensation can be due to a peripheral nerve disorder or neuropathy. Poor circulation, alcohol use or side effect from certain medications,  low vitamin b12, abnormal thyroid, diabetes and immune disorders are among the most common causes. Check with your physician for accurate diagnosis and treatment. This may not be related to hydrocephalus.

Question 8

what to do if i have needle sharp pain in my feet.?

Accepted Answer

See a podiatrist: This could be many things depending on where the pain is starting and if there has been injury.

Question 9

my right foot gives out feels like pin and needles?

Accepted Answer

Probably due to: Nerve compression in the spine by a disk or bone narrowing. See a pain management physician for a physical exam, imaging and a treatment plan.

Question 10

i stepped on a sewing needle, its now in my foot, should i try pulling it out?

Accepted Answer

If it is in straight: And sticking out a bit you can try, but tetanus history needs to be known...you may need a booster, and may need antibiotics....so you may still want to see a doctor...
