A member asked:
Can poor circulation in legs cause a prickly / burning sensation ? seems worse when i'm sat down , especially when driving.

Yes: The decreased blood flow, often when in a position like sitting that can decrease the normal flow of blood, may cause classic "pins and needles" or a burning sensation. You seem young at 34 to have this type of issue, but get checked by your dr. To be safe. Best wishes.
