Article Excerpts about Paresthesia
Paresthesia is
a term that refers to an abnormal burning or prickling sensation which is
generally felt in the hands, arms, legs, or feet, but may occur in any
part of the body. The sensation, which arises spontaneously without
apparent stimulus and is usually not painful, may also be described as
tingling or numbness, skin crawling, buzzing, or itching. Most people have
experienced transient (temporary) paresthesia at some time in their lives;
it occurs whenever inadvertent pressure is placed on a nerve and causes
what many describe as a "pins and needles" feeling. The feeling quickly
goes away once the pressure is relieved. For some people, however,
paresthesia can become a chronic condition caused by an underlying
disorder
