Question: what does it mean when it feels like pins are sticking you?
Answer: Chances are, you've had a "pins and needles" feeling in your limbs, fingers, or feet. That prickling, burning, tingling, numb, itching, or "skin crawling" feeling is called paresthesia. While it may seem weird, it's usually painless and harmless. But sometimes it can be a sign of a more serious medical problem.
