Any explanation for why i get pins and needles in my arms all the time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several possible: Could be due to hyperventilation, low ionized calcium, a medication reaction (topirimate), but might even be bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome.. See your doctor, check if you have a Chvostek's sign.
