What Causes Pins And Needles Sensation In The Heel When I Stretch?

I am having pins and needles pain on the back of my left heel when i stretch too far, such as when I do downward facing dog in yoga. I have never had this pain before. Should I see a foot doctor? I think it has to do with my achiles tendon. The muscle is very tight and it only hurts when I stretch too far.

Hello,

Consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated. The possibilities are plantar fasciitis and neuropathic causes.
