A member asked:
Why does it feel like there are needles poking my feet all the time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably a nerve: Note when you have this sensation. Get checked by a podiatrist. There are some diseases that have sensations that are associated with this, like diabetes. Get checked. It sounds nerve related.
