Pins and needles during exercise?

I have the exact same symptoms. What I noticed is that geographical location also makes a difference. I had less of this problem in Dallas Texas, but more of it in south Florida and now in Pennsylvania.

Hello @dremindeniz, Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Thanks for sharing your experience with your symptoms. I'm wondering if others have noticed that where you live makes a difference and if it's due to temperature, humidity or other factors. Have you been diagnosed with neuropathy?

Good morning @dremindeniz. Welcome to Connect! It is pretty wonderful to be in touch with folks from different places with the same symptoms. The other location issue is altitude. I lived for 20 years at 6,000 ft. And I was a member of a walking group that traveled all over on Inn to Inn adventures. According to my primary and only medical clinician in the village, living at altitude is very good for your heart and cardiovascular system.

Tourists used to come into my gallery complaining about being tired and out of breath. I would tell them to give it a few days before trying to climb up "Tahquitz" (11,000 ft).

And for those with a TKR or two.....remember it is o.k. to climb up, it is not o.k. to climb down.

And here is another issue. Barometric pressure. So anything over 30 is great and keeps your pain at bay a bit.

Unfortunately, there is another issue and that is lack of moisture. My ophthalmologist told me that the only thing that would help my dry eyes syndrome would be a move to a rainforest. So here I am in MN and my eyes are much, much, better.

Yes, where we live and how we live are very important elements for our health.

May you be free of suffering and the causes of suffering.
