What Causes Pain And Numbness On The Hands And Legs?

I am having issues with my arms and legs. They are achy and often numbing lately, especially my arms extending to my hands, especially when I sit or lie down. Sometimes I feel pin prick pain in my legs and either I have gained a lot of weight lately that has gone solely to my arms and legs or they are swollen. I also sometimes worry about my heart. I do sometimes have anxiety issues but today my symptoms were quite bad and I am feeling worried. Due to recent insurance change I don t have a regular doctor. Should I go to an ER or urgent care facility?
