Child Has Pain In Feet, Right Hand. Why Is It?
My 5 yr old son has been complaining of pins and needles in his feet and just recently his right hand. Sometimes this is just after sitting crossed legged and sometimes just sitting normally. The sensation in his hand occurred after lying awkwardly in bed on his shoulder. He has complained of this over last 2 yrs approximately 20 - 25 times in total from memory.

hi
thanks for your quiry
this abnormal sensation is due to the awkward posture of the child for prolong periods of time
resulting in nereve compression especially of sensory roots
ask the child not to sit or lye in those posture
its not troublesome at all
hope i answered your question
he will be fine soon
take care
