what causes pins and needles in your hand?


Question:
wake up during night,and sometimes doesnt matter how much you move fingers etc,still pins and needles.Have to get up and walk around to fix.And get pins and needles sometimes,just riding the moped to work.is it serious problem or not?

Answers:
i don't know very much about it but as per as my knowledge when you sleep the nerves may be compressed & irritated so when you wake up they causes abnormal sensesations like pins & needles. however it may be some neurological disorder also. so you must consult any neurologist

Other Answers:
Lack of adequate blood circulation!
It is probably poor circulation but could be carpal tunnel syndrome!
Personally, I would go and get it checked out at the Doctors, it could mean that your blood is harder to push around your body.
you probably have poor circulation, go to a doc.
Sewing,jackhammering,riding motorcycles,working too hard and poor circulation.
Could be a pinched nerve in your neck - but - I just went to the doctor for the same thing and it isn't my neck. Carpal tunnel is a good candidate but they decided that my muscles aren't being used like they were before in my shoulders and that is causing it. I get it when I drive and have to take turns taking a hand off the wheel and shaking it. I'd say unless you have recently changed your physical level, carpal tunnel is a real good candidate. It's probably not serious but you should have it looked at. I was afraid that I was having a stroke or something.
OK PINS AND NEEDLES IS THE LACK OF BLOOD GOING TO A SPECIFIC AREA ITS THE NERVES COMPLAINING TRY A HOT BATH BEFORE BED IF THAT DOES NOT WORK MASSAGE THE AFFECTE AREA IF THAT DONT WORK GO TO A DOCTOR
Neuropathy(maybe),go to the doctor don't wait, it maybe nerve damage.Find out what is causing this and why ,so if it's anything serious maybe they can stop it from progressing.
As you sleep in different positions sometimes your hand come under your body and the weight causes difficulty in the circulation of blood....when that part doesnt get blood you get a sensation of pins and needles...
i had the same problem and was misdiagnosed with carpal tunnel. it turned out to be an inverted disc in my c-3 and c-4 of my neck and it was pinching my spinal cord . talk to you doc about nerve impingement.
it may caused by the defiency of B 12 vit.(anemia)..
