Hello,
The pins and needles seem to be related to side effects injection. I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the symptoms. I also suggest using cold compresses at the injection site. The symptoms will relieve gradually.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
