AThousandLies Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 ... are so damn annoying! I've always gotten them since I was young, but it seems I get them every day now! It usually happens when I've been on the computer all day, between 6 and 11 hours. I get it in my left foot, then it goes away. Then my left calf & foot, then left thigh, and then left buttcheek! It gets really frustrating sometimes. Hard to talk. It probably means I need exercise but ... eh. Anyone else get anything like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatsilverwyrm Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 I beleive the feeling actually means that whatever part of the body isn't getting enough blood, so it sends out nerve signals like "OI! MOVE ME SO I CAN GET SOME FREAKIN' BLOOD!" I get it whenever I sit cross-legged for longer than 20 minutes or so.. rather interesting to try and stand up to walk.. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blazer Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 I never get pins and needles, I think it's because I'm naturally restless... Can't sit still for more than half an hour (unless I'm absolutely riveted in a good game of battlefield 2 :) ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 6-11 hours I hope you exercise/or don't eat much or you would be one unhealthy person :( Anyway I get pins and needles only when I'm lying on my bed reading and i have my hand underneath my head or supporting it in the air. Then i get it in my hand obviously. Only twice I have gotten it in my foot and thats when I was playing PS2 in a weird position :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 I used to sit on my feet for that feeling, I kinda like it... Once after sitting on my feet for a good few hours at the computer I tried getting up, oh my god that was fun, two dead feet. They just flopped and it took about 3 minutes to get them working again. :lol: Notoriously Trollish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indy500fan Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 as long as you are happier with playing on the computer 6-11 hours a day than keeping fit, then dont pay attention to anyone saying anything about it. its your choice, not theirs :wink: . i never get pins and needle because i am constantly fidgeting. doctor says thats why im so thin, i never really ever stop moving. im constantly flipping over in my bed all night, and right now i am shaking my feet around. always got to keep moving...

Fat_Slug Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 i get pins and needles constantly in my ring and little finger on my right hand. its is due to slight compression on one of my nerves on my elbow, following a r.t.a i had almost 3 years ago. after scans and tests i've been told it'll go away on its own accord. its not painfull or owt, just plain annoying. i also get it in my legs if i kneel on em, good fun trying to walk on them when i get it :wink: Runescape nick : Fat_SlugOwner of Ears, Scythe and a 10 year veteran cape :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubsa Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Pins n Needles are smegging great man! When they take over your left leg and you try to walk down the stairs, oh the comedy! Cramp is a bugger though. Actually worse are my stingers. I get shooting pains from my neck to my shoulder sometimes; probably through rugby. I can dislocate my shoulder now at whim, which is a handy party trick. But uh, yeah, anyway, don't knock pins n needles! :D This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you.

VOV Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 The best is when you wake up and find both your arms are asleep on you because of the way you were lying on the matress :shock: I've had that happen a few times over the years and it is hilarious until they start hurting. I know the price. I pay it gladly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
