Pins & needles in lower legs & ankles

Hi All, Just wondering if anyone else is having pins & needles (almost a burning feeling) in your lower legs and ankles. I experience it constantly. I'm hoping it is due to the steroids and that it will go away when I get to stop taking them. I have AIH/PBC Overlap. Wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if you determined the cause. Thanks!

I have had some lower back issues through the years, but the pins and needles didn't start until I started the meds. - so, I was thinking (hoping) it was a side effect.
