Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day

Dear Ms

Going by description of your symptoms , the cause of discomfort over heal is likely to be due to plantar fasciitis(inflammation of fascia of sole of foot). Inappropriate footwear, prolonged standing could be risk factors, also associated anxiety could aggravate the discomfort.

I woiuld suggest you the following

1. Hot water fomentation

2. Multivitamin Supplement

3. Analgesics like Ibuprofen taken for short term will be helpful

Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you

Take Care

Brief Answer:
Unliklely to be serious

Detailed Answer:
Dear Ms

Pins and needle sensation is likely to be due to vitamin deficiency. If there is no associated weakness in feet or absence of back ache then there is no cause for concern. Religiously following the advise will be helpful.

Do keep me updated about progress
