Hi All,

I am just wondering if anyone has experienced pins and needles during the day and night in there feet? Its just i have started experiencing this and my consultant is around for a week as hes on holiday and my gp isnt sure what it is, he said it could be RA but doesnt no. I have damaged feet.

Thank You

    Yes, frequently. It's just one of those things, it comes and goes. DD

    Hi Madness - people with and without arther suffer from this ...I don't have RA but OA and I get pins and needles occasionally.

    I have had OA since mid twenties. It affects my hips and knees. I had a THR on the left aged 30 and now have a resurface-replacement on the right - done May 2010.

    My big problem is this on, I get it a lot in both legs in the outter shins and feet when sitting down for a while, my bigest problem however is that I also get a feeling of cold down from the knees into my feet, sometimes nothing else happens but sometimes it changes dramatically, it can get very pronunced when it does this lasts a few days and then slowly turns into a flare that can only be discribed as a deep sickly crushing pain if I attempt to stand up, takes about a week to pass then slowly returns to it's normal ways, no one has a clue as to what it is nor do I all I know is I have had it ever since me double knee op.
