What Causes Pins And Needles In My Left Leg And Both Arms?

hello, I returned from cyprus last thursday and while on the flight i started to get pins and needles in my left leg and both arms/hands. I was constantly moving my arms and legs and also stood up and went for a walk twice. my neck/ throat has been hurting since and while away my glands were slightly swollen. my partner had a blood clot in his leg from a previous flight a few years ago and it has worried me.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

Both of your extremities are affected so.
- It can be due to awkward body position in plain / excessive cold due to ac / vitamin B12 deficiency or spondylitis at both cervical &lumber spine. You need to get investigated to exclude possibilities one by one as per your family doctors advise. Till the you can start preventive dose of B12 daily OTC (neurobiology forte pill). Consult your family physician please .in case there is no response within 3 days. (I don't see possibility of stroke with the information provided.)

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
