What Causes Pins And Needles Sensation On Feet?

Hello. My name is Desiree Jordan. I live in California United States. My son, Travis Jordan, was in your hospital a couple weeks ago. He went to Koh Tao to take a dive class. He felt like he was being stabbed all over with needles and his feet felt like he was walking on broken glass. I am not trying to get confidential information. But he told me his liver and kideys are shutting down. I am very concerned about his life. Should I go and get him. He is not eating and has lost 25 lbs. I am worried that he is not eating or drinking enough and will do damage to himself. He had this happen several years ago and it was from lack of salt. He has completely cut meat and salt out of his diet. I am worried his body might be eating his muscle tissue. He was throwing up yesterday and not diving. He said diving will force urine into kidneys and can damage your kidneys. Thank you for any information you can give me.

Hello,

It is due to neuropathic causes.

Consult a neurologist and get evaluated. You will improve with drugs like gabapentin.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
