Pins & needles.

Hi over 4 days now I’m feeling pins & needles from my elbow to my fingers. Not greatly painfully more annoying :roll_eyes: is this a normal m.s thing?

Hi @mazmiller111 all I can say is that it could be but it might not be.Have you spoken with your MS Nurse?

No I feel my ms nurse is new & usually sends me to gp. I just thought I would ask on hear hoping it was usually :confused: wishful :thinking:

Hi, I usually get this feeling in my arms when I wake up or after I walk anywhere. It’s not nice. I wish I could offer advice, but know you’re not on your own with that symptom! :pensive_face:

I’ve been getting it frequently in the morning. Might be for 10 minutes or an hour. I don’t believe it’s MS as it goes and then may return the following day. I have noticed it less when I’ve done my best not to bend my arm when sleeping. Obviously I can’t help what it does when asleep but if I wake I always straighten it before going back to sleep or just laying there for a while.

I have pins & needles all the time in my feet and fairly regularly in my hands.

I find with my hands if I’m trying to grip anything such as a knife and fork my left hand will go dead and I often drop things.

I take Nortriptyline and Baclofen otherwise I would struggle to get any sleep.
