You're sitting there- working away quite comfortably
and suddenly something goes numb, whether it be your butt or leg or hand
but suddenly you're up doing a litte jig trying to get rid of the stupid feeling and you're getting crazy looks from everyone
The medical name for feeling pins and needles in your fingers is ‘paraesthesia‘. Paraesthesia is a sign that sensory nerves in the area of the tingly sensation are being irritated – sometimes this condition is combined with small colour variations in the hand (pink/yellow spots). The condition may be the result of a disease or damage to the nerves themselves, damage to the blood supply, or disease of the surrounding tissues (arthritis the nerves themselves get affected). Millions of people in the developed world suffer on the feeling of having pins and needles in the hands & fingers – and often the conditions is associated by the people with RSI.
