Paresthesia: You're describing local paresthesia. This is a nerve problem. The potential causes vary: from benign entrapment (physical pressure on the nerve) to issues with the spinal cord to metabolic diseases that you want to catch early. A physical exam by a physician is often necessary to fine tune the differential diagnosis.

NEEDS TO BE CHECKED: You need to make an apt with your Primary care doctor as you need a thorough history and physical exam to find the cause of your symptoms and treat if needed
