Suggest Treatment For Sharp Pinching Pain All Over The Body

For the past couple of months, I have been experiencing feeling of pins and needles on different areas of body. It does not feel like when your hand or leg falls asleep, but instead like someone taking a needle and just pinching you with it. It can be in my arms, legs, stomach, hands, anywhere. When it happens I feel like I need to scratch it or rub it. I m very concerned because I don t know if it is pinched nerves, allergy or something else. It does not happen everyday but happening more and more. Has anyone experienced anything like this?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have sharp pinching pain all over the body. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like radiculopathy, neuralgia , nerve dysfunction , diabetes , herpes simplex virus or insect bites . I would suggest you to take over the counter antihistamine like zyrtec twice a day , bath with hot water having epsom salt in it , drink plenty of water and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain . Consult general practitioner for proper examination . Doctor may order blood test , check vitals , take history .

Doctor may give supplement like vitamin B 12 along with other treatment .
