What Causes Needle Pricks Sensation In Body?
I have a strange prickly spot -feels like someone is putting a needle in my skin. It's above the ankle - back of the leg. It has been there for more than 24hours & comes almost in a "contraction" manner - meaning it goes away for 3 seconds& comes back for 3 seconds. It woke me up last night & couldn't sleep.what do you think it is?

I have read your complaints. Just need to know two more things, do you have back pain and do you smoke or have high blood sugar?
