PINS & NEEDLES: I am assuming you mean pins & needles. The scientific name for this is paresthesias. It's a sensation of burning, numbness, itching, tingling or crawling of the skin. If it's been there for a long time, see your doctor. Many medications can cause this symptom. And there are certain neurological diseases that can cause it as well. Don't wait to see your doctor.
