What Causes Pins And Needles Sensation On Legs?

75 yr old woman. symptoms started with red itchy rash on buttocks and 1/2 way up the middle of my back. Dr. said I had exzcema. Gave me a shot of Benadryl in the buttocks, 2.5% hyderocortisone and 0.05% Fluocinonide and Cetaphil Moisturing Cream. This did help a little. But now I don t have a rash but both thighs are itchingin the back and front as well both arms and it feels like pins and needles. For the itching I used vinegar and the itching stopped but kept returning. Also, Both of my legs feel like pins and needles but they are not itching. However, both hands are cold constantly. What is the matter with me. I need some remedy. I m wondering if this is from when both of the back of my heels were hit by a grocery cart. That is when the pins and needles started in my feet and legs.
