Q: is a pins and needles feeling on your body or like nerve pain a common side effect when taking bactrim ds?

: Never had a patient complain of this. I would go to Drugs.com and check and also check interactions if you are taking any other meds or supplements.

This would be a rather unusual reaction to Bactrim DS and more likely the Pins and Needles are due to a co-morbidity. Discuss this with your doctor.
