Hi, for the past 1 week, I feel pricking sensation in my palms. Happens only at night when I am lying down. I am 53 yrs old female in good health. I have No hypertension or diabetes. I walk and excercise regularly. What could be the cause ? Any suggestion for improving the situation will be appreciated.

Hi,

This is peripheral neuropathy which happens in cases where either there is a vitamin B12 injury or there could also be a peripheral ischemia which means less blood supply to the nerve.

You should start a course of Neurobion forte and pregabalin for a month.

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