Pins and Needles

My first guess is that maybe since you have lost weight your posture is changing and maybe you have a disc in your back that is putting pressure on a nerve. Look up the diagram of dermatome online and see if the area you have numbness relates to a lumbar disc. Does the numbness get worse/better if you flex or extend your back?

It could be a vitamin B deficiency. Are you taking your supplements?
