Numbness in Hands and Feet

Have you ever experienced a sensation like pins or needles poking at your hands or feet? Some people experience this from time to time, to a degree that their hands and feet feel as if they are going completely numb. While this sensation frequently subsides quickly, in some cases the issue does not go away. When the symptoms linger for longer than a few minutes, it’s a sign you have a serious problem in need of medical attention.

When dealing with a sensation of numbness or tingling in the extremities, the root cause is almost always nerve-related. Those who experience this need to realize that time is of the essence—if you put off getting eyes on the problem from a doctor, the likelihood of long-term nerve damage happening is greatly increased.
