Specializes in Podiatry

Pins and needles: Pins and needles feeling could be caused by a number of things. Pressure around a nerve could cause these feelings, and could be caused by the way you sit and your anatomy. Other reasons could relate to your medical history, back injury, neuropathy, diabetes? Can you give more description and medical history? Thanks.
