What are pins and needles?

Most people have experienced pins and needles at some point in their lives. Whether it's from sitting in one position for too long or wearing tight shoes, the sensation is usually harmless and goes away relatively quickly. However, pins and needles sometimes signal something more serious, like nerve damage. If you experience pins and needles regularly or for extended periods of time, it's important to see a doctor to rule out any underlying health conditions. Pins and needles are caused by compression or irritation of the nerves. When the nerves are compressed, they can't send normal signals to the brain. This causes the sensation of pins and needles. In most cases, this is temporary and will go away independently. However, if the compression is severe or lasts long, it can lead to permanent nerve damage.
