When I got out of bed this morning and began to walk I felt a sort of pin prick sensation between my knee and thigh. It is not painful just annoying.

Brief Answer:
Will need a little more information before we can figure this out.
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX Thanks for coming to HealthCareMagic.
There could be a few things that cause this kind of sensation. I need to ask you a few questions before we can go any further. Any information you can add to this would be incredibly helpful.
1) Do you have any back issues? Disc problems etc?
2) Do you suffer from osteoporosis?
3) Do you have any kidney issues?
4) Do you have any muscular problems?
5) Do you take any medications on a regular basis?
6) Was there anything special about the position you slept in the night before?
If you could answer these questions for me, would be grateful.
I look forward to your thoughts.
