What Causes Pins And Needles Feeling In Hands And Feet?
I have pins and needles feeling in my hands and feet, back pain often and also the urge to urinate. Any ideas? This started about 3 weeks ago suddenly. Went to the doctor he said my back pain was muscular in nature and treated me for a uti. I still have these symptoms despite both urinalysis coming back negative for infection.

Hello,
These symptoms may indicate peripheral neuropathy, a condition linked with underlying causes such as prolonged alcohol use, low vitamin B12, diabetes, compressed nerves or spinal cord, viral infections, etc. Stenosis of your cervical spinal cord also is a possibility. In such cases is advisable to see a Neurologist and to get further evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
