Members shared their experiences with the frustrating pins and needles sensations throughout their arms, hands, legs, and feet, with many describing how the numbness happens unpredictably whether they're standing, sitting, or lying down, and sometimes causes significant pain. Several members found reassurance in learning this is a common fibromyalgia symptom caused by hypersensitive nerves rather than nerve damage, with one member sharing that their nerve test came back negative and their doctor confirmed it's a side effect of the condition. A recurring theme was the comfort of knowing they weren't alone or going crazy, along with practical suggestions like trying PENNSAID foam pump for severe knee pain.
