Hello,

Welcome to Health Care Magic.

Thanks for writing.

I am Dr.Muhammad Ahmad. I have read your question completely, i understand your concern and will try to help you in best way possible.

Percocet contains oxycodon which is an opioid, opioids depresses brain functions and blocks nerves this can cause pins and needle sensation in some patients it is normal effect of opioids you do not have to worry about this issue.

I would suggest you not to panic but if this numb feeling and pins and needles bother you too much then you can discuss change if medication with your doctor. In my opinion there should be nothing to be worried about.
