Is It Normal To Have Pinning And Needling Feeling In The Arms And Fot After Fracturing The Back Of The Neck
Hello I fracture my neck back in December and have been feeling pins and needles in my arms and hands. Now I am feeling really sharp pins in the bottom of my feet. It feels like I have glass in my feet. Is this a feeling normal for a fracture neck?

No...Pin and needle feeling in the arm and hands may come from the neck because of the impingement of the nerve supply to the upper limb but the same sensation in the legs or feet is quite abnormal.
I would be able to help you more if I come to know the age and the level of neck injury.
Thanks
