hi,
for your comfort doctor has prescribed amitriptyline, this is drug used when few usual pain relief drugs dont work for you. no problem in using for short term pain relief. pins and needles sensation indicates pain of neuronal origin (amitriptyline is used for neuronal pain relief) , hence doctor has prescribed right one.
wish you good health .
