Brief Answer:
Can be due to surgery.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The feeling of pins and needles at the site of surgery can be due to superficial nerve damage at the site of incision. This will gradually reduce on its own in next 1-2 weeks.
You can start taking methylcobalamin supplements and see if it helps.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
