You know sometimes when your sleeping and all of the sudden you feel this sharp pain in the leg? Well thats just probably Pins and Needles, here let me elaborate :

This is a form of paresthesia that is similar to, but milder than the feeling of a limb "going to sleep".  It can be cause by poor blood circulation but in healthy individuals it is more normally caused by compressing the nerves that run past the the elbows or knees.

This interrupts communication with the sensory nerve endings in the hands and feet and when the pressure is released the nerves suddenly begin firing wildly like and randomly until a sensory thereshold is re-established, It is normally very transient but certain medical disorders such as diabetes or hypothyroidism can cause chronic pins and needles.
