What Causes Pain In The Arms And Legs?
Good afternoon. I am 39 years old, female, for about a year I have had sharp twinges of pain in my arms and legs, feels like a needle poking me. it happens usually right before I fall asleep. feels almost like something is biting me and I have to rub it or scratch it for it to go away. The pain is not at a specific spot but seems to be usually on my arms and legs, sometimes other parts of my body. What might this be? Thank you, Katie

Your problem can be due vitamin D deficiency. Checking blood levels of B12 and vitamin D will be helpful. If it is low taking supplements of those will be helpful.
