Hi,
Pins and needle sensation is typical in neuropathies or nerve related disorders. Diabetes commonly causes such sensations. Complete blood count and blood sugar levels both fasting and one and a half hour after food should be taken. Further management will be based on the results. Meanwhile, painkillers and vitamin-B12 tablets or injection is recommended.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Saranya Ramadoss, General & Family Physician
