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.
