Medical Conditions - Paresthesias

Paresthesia is a term used to describe temporary numbness, tingling, and twisting sensations caused by decreased blood flow to a specific area. They commonly happen when one restricts movement in the upper and lower limbs. This transitory phase usually passes with active movement of the affected area, although chronic paresthesia could be a sign of nerve injury.
