Neurologist 's  Response
pins and needles pain in both hands and feet can be feature of peripheral neuropathy.
Also few patient with cervial myelopathy can have similar symptoms.
I advise you to get NCV all four limbs done 1st. If its show evidence of neuropathy, then need workup regarding cause of neuropathy
and if NCV turns out to be normal- get a MRI cervial spine.
For symptomatic relief you can try Tab Gabapentin 300 mg BD
