Q: i noticed that i feel pins and needles in my lower legs after bathing in hot water, why does this happen?

: A couple of neurological disorders could explain this, if present. A peripheral neuropathy especially involving small fibers, and a demyelinating disorder affecting spinal cord pathways could also be considered. If this is troubling, do see a doctor and discuss potential neurological consultation.
