1. pins and needles

   "Pins and needles" is a common term used to describe a tingling or pricking sensation on the skin, often felt in the hands or feet. Medically known as paresthesia, this sensation typically occurs when sustained pressure is placed on a nerve, resulting in temporary numbness, followed by a rushing sensation as normal function returns. It is usually harmless and disappears after movement is resumed.
