Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You had injury 3 years back which was managed with cast. Now you are having pins and needles sensation. I wanna know when this problem started and was you having normal sensation after fracture. was there any numbness or you had diffuse swelling throughout period.it is difficult to pinpoint what exactly happening without examination and proper history. Please visit an orthopedic surgeon for further management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
