I have recently started getting pins and needles in my right leg and i'm wondering weather someone could help me i'm wondering weather its poor circulation or a pinched nerve or something like that i don't want to go the the doctors or hospital because they have more important things to do and i feel like it would waste time

You need to see your GP. Only a doctor can diagnose you.

Turns out I've got a trapped nerve in my knee so not as bad as first thought

It could be many things. Mineral or vitamin deficiency or not drinking enough water. But from what you have said, it would be best to see your Doctor for his or her opinion.

Pins and needles and numbness are both symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency, pop your post question up on another community site here on Health Unlocked called PAS (Pernicious Anemia Society. (also for B12 Deficiency)

You should go to your GP or your neurologist remember we are not doctors here. Your doctor can check you out

I have neurological damage which causes this, though there are other things such as low B12 or folate that can cause similar issues. You could waste more time & become debilitated if you don't see a doctor to find out, & the problem becomes worse or irreversible.

Ouch!

Hope it’s untraced soon!

My chiropractor suggested I gave that too, as well as my spine. 🤕
