Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have been sleeping on a bed that has hard side on the upper torso and soft side below. It is giving me pins and needles sensation and it has been there for a while now. Please advise.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com. The treatment depends on the area where you have the pins and needles. I am assuming it to be in your legs. If that is the situation, then you should look into nerve issues (sciatica). But, it will also cause lower back pain. I would suggest you to try firm surface which is flat and same for upper and lower torso. If the pins and needles are in the upper body, then your nerves might be compressing at the level of lower neck or axilla. You would benefit from cervical collar.
