Pins and needles in my 2 fingers for 6days
Hello Taahira
Could it be carpal tunnel syndrome I wonder? My understanding is that this happens sometimes when inflammation in the wrists causes narrowing of the carpal tunnel and pushes on the nerves causing pins and needles. If I were you I would ask the GP or rheumatology nurse. They may well send you for nerve conduction tests to see if they can find out what's going on.

I get this a lot also in my toes mine happens at night. and my hands also go numb too.
HI - I've recently posted twice about pins and needles so you might be interested to read people's experiences with these symptoms too. Tilda x
If you see your GP which I have found easier, the GP can get you to do a simple test without any instruments which can confirm if it's carpal tunnel. If it is it can be taken from there by your rheumy consultant who can refer you to a hand specialist for carpal tunnel release surgery. My rheumy consultant used a machine to measure nerve response (I believe that was what it was measuring). I found often just moving my hands into a different position helped, especially during the night also putting my wrists under a cold running tap was another one which must have taken away some of the swelling and pressure on the carpal tunnel. I had bi lateral carpal tunnel release surgery and it worked for me.

Hi Taahira
It is always worth discussing new or changing symptoms with your GP, especially if you are concerned.
Kind regards
