What Causes Pins and Needles?

The video explains the sensation known as paresthesia, commonly referred to as pins and needles. It occurs when sensory nerves are interfered with, often due to restricted blood flow or pressure on the nerves. This can happen from awkward positions or hitting the funny bone.

Chronic paresthesia can result from prolonged nerve compression or conditions like multiple sclerosis, requiring medical intervention. Practical advice is given for alleviating temporary paresthesia by changing positions.
