What Causes Pins And Needles Sensation In Lower Back After A Surgery For Torn Thumb Ligament?
Question: I just had surgery on my torn thumb ligament from a bike fall. after the surgery I took homeophathic phosperous mostly in water for about 5 days, about two pellets at a time, every 3 hours or so.
I noticed since the surgery that if I merely touch the middle of my back, from the spine to the right, I get momentary pins and needles down the back of my right thigh.
