What Causes Stinging Pain In My Body At Night Followed By Sweating?

I woke up in the night with a feeling of pins and needles all over my body, sat up and was suddenly drenched in sweat and my right arm felt slightly stiff. It only lasted a couple of minutes but this morning my right arm feels a bit wobbly. I am aged 60 and recovering from a broken ankle since surgery in March.

you appear to be suffereing to having a condition called "cholinergic urticaria., in which an exposure to sweat producing conditions can give rise intense tingling and itching sensation. It lasts for about 10 miniutes and the onset is usually episodic and acute. in severe case there can be an skin hives eruptions.
avoid abrupt changes in temperature and extreme teemepature exposures. it can be precipitated by going in sun and exercise and during night. tab hyroxizine 25 mg twice a day and before sleep can give you relief.
its a self remmiting condition, will subside within two months.
