Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are having pin and needle sensation.
It is common in anemia (low hemoglobin) and vitamin b 12 deficiency.
So better to get done blood reports like complete blood count and vitamin b 12 level.
If any of these is deficient than you need supplements.
Sometimes stress and anxiety can also cause similar kind of needle pricking sensation.
So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
