Pins and Needles

‘Pins and Needles’ is referred to the tingling sensation we feel in our hands, feet, arms or legs when the blood begins to circulate in those areas after being impeded for sometime. For example, when we sit with our legs curled up in one position for a long time and then try to stand up, we sometimes get the feeling of numbness as if one of our leg had ‘fallen asleep’. As the blood begins to flow again, the familiar tingling sensation occurs due to the change.
