A member asked:
Pins n needle feeling but amped up, felt like a quick zap in my shoulder almost as though it was on fire, could this be because of my tendonitis? 43y/o

Possible: The inflammation around your tendon may be causing some concomitant inflammation of your nerve in the shoulder area, thus causing some "pins and needles." if you do not improve or it worsens, be sure to follow-up with your dr. Best wishes.
