Why do we get pins and needles?

I know its because of lack of circulation in an area, but WHY does it make you feel painful tingles?

    Most pins and needles sensations are caused by a spirit in physical contact with an individual. This can be proven by slowly passing an open hand above, but not touching, the point of the sensation. If the same sensation is felt with the hand, than a spirit is the cause.

    This sensation can be because of the nerves being irritated due to the circulation problem.

    Also, these sensations can also be an indication that a nerve might be pinched (an example only).

    I would recommend checking with your doctor as well to see what they say.
