A member asked:

I've had pins and needles in my hands, numb arms and a weak wrist since my 1st depo?

Nerve Strike?: I hope to strike a "nerve" with this answer for you, as the Depo shot may have hit a nerve if given in your arm causing the "pins and needles" feeling. If it continues, ask the MD who gave the shot to check out your arm neurologically.
