Referred to by many as \u201cpins and needles\u201d, it can be experienced as numbness, tingling, or even burning in one\u2019s hands, feet, legs, or other body parts.According to the\u00a0 it\u2019s proper name is paresthesia, and is characterized not by a feeling of pain, but rather a discomfort that can appear without warning (that is to say\u00a0<em>not\u00a0<\/em>just after you\u2019ve woken up).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve been sleeping, or indeed remained in the same position for too long a period of time, you\u2019ll have certainly experienced the \u201cpins and needles\u201d I mentioned earlier. This is actually called transient paresthesia, and mostly occurs as a result of sustained pressure being exerted on a nerve.That said, it can also be caused by other conditions, including a nerve injury or herniated disc, amongst other things.It\u2019s hardly a surprise that the majority of people aren\u2019t too keen on experiencing paresthesia. Though, as stated, it\u2019s not commonly associated with any great amount of pain, it is uncomfortable, and sensitivity is often higher in the affected limb.To restore normalcy to the limb, one must get blood circulating once more to the affected nerve. Stretching or massaging the limb can help with this, hastening relief.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re anything like me, you\u2019ll be no stranger to occasionally waking up with a tingling sensation in your arms, hands, or fingers.You\u2019ll likely know what I\u2019m&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":49206,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-49205","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"views":36,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49205","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=49205"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49205\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":49207,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49205\/revisions\/49207"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/49206"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=49205"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=49205"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsinbr.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=49205"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
