A member asked:

I have been experiencing tingling sensation all over my body but mostly on legs and arms. like needles all over my body. what's this?

Broad Differential: Based on the limited info. The problem can either come from the cervical spinal cord or peripheral nerve. A good history and physical examination can sort that out. Thus, you should see a neurologist to get further answers. I hope this helps.
