Hello,
I have studied your case. I think you are most probably having a vitamin B12 deficiency. It can cause such a pricking sensation. I would recommend you get your B12 level check. Also, check if your blood sugar and thyroid are normal because both can cause such altered sensation. I hope these medicines will be helpful to you.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Naveen Kumar Sharma, Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement
