Is there a reason it feels like there are needles poking my feet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Weird foot sensation: A good likelihood is that you may be experiencing some initial symptoms of neuropathy. This can lead to weird altered sensations such as burning, tingling, and even increased warmth. By controlling your blood sugar this can curb some of these weird sensations. Also some of your medications may add to some weird sensations as well. Just make sure there's no pins in your shoe gear.
