You know, it's like when you lie on your leg and then when you try to get up, it's hard to walk and feels like your leg is electrified or sleeping and it takes like a minute to get back to normal.
I'm not sure if it's called neuropraxia so I just want to make sure.

The pins n needles sensation is called parasthesia. Neuropraxia, a type a nerve injury/damage is one cause of this. However there are several other causes.

Not sure about neuropraxia, I just call it "pins and needles". Neurapraxia is the term for short-term damage to a nerve, usually as a result of minor physical trauma.

Pins and needles is the common name for it. Were you thinking of neuropathy, a condition usually caused by diabetes where your hands and feet get numb easily?

it is simply a lack of bloodflow into the area that feels tingly. The sensation of tingling occurs when blood rushes back into the area.

Check with a doctor although it could be poor circulation.
