whenever i land from a high distance, or even if i just suddenly put pressure on my feet, i instantly have a nearly unbeareable feeling of tingling and pins and needles shoot from the soles of my feet up to my knees, then it kinda goes away...it only lasts about 5 seconds, but it hurts extremely bad...any ideas what this is, why it does it, and how i can stop it?

well i shouldnt have said "high distances" because this even does it when i am just barely above where i can reach the ground with my feet, or even when i get out of bed...sorry for that bit of confusion lol

I don't know what it is, but it happens to me. I used to ride on a wagon when I was a kid with my feet dangling. When I jumped off it really stung, burned. I am 70 now and fit, so it must not be life threatening. That is why I didn't want to be a paratrooper.

You kinda answered your own question. Jumping from a high distance and landing on your feet will put a whole lot of pressure on your feet upon impact and sends the shock up your nerves, especially if you're landing with your feet flat. Also, are you flat footed? People with flat feet have little or no arch in their feet to absorb the impact and is bad for your back. If you do have flat feet then I recommend putting shoe pads in your shoes. These are made for people with flat feet (such as myself) to help absorb shock. If you want to stop this pain from happening, don't jump from high places.

This doesn't sound anything like gout. Gout causes severe joint pain, redness, and swelling, often in the great toe joint. This sounds more like plantar fasciitis to me. Definitely go see a doctor to confirm this, but treatment includes cold packs, staying off your feet, and wearing good shoes with a heel, like a pair of runners with lifts in the heels. Most important, see the doc, because this is only a guess.

It could be because there is not enough blood circulation due to perhaps disuse atrophy or perhaps due to the fact that part of your body was at rest for two or three hours. You can find good home remedies for this. I did find some at http://ailments.in/peripheralneuropathy.html

Sounds like gout. Look it up on web MD. I'm not one to copy and paste 10 pages from wikipedia. In short it is uric acid build up, usually in the feet. Get well!

You might have a condition called neuropathy which is a fancy word for nerve damage. Also you might have planter fasciatitis which is a painful condition of the foot. If this continues, go to your doctor and he will probably refer you to a foot doctor for evaluation.

Better see a doctor. If you don't, you may be watching other people from a wheel chair

Yes it could be your fascia is damaged and causing healing that has gone on to tear painfully. Also could be poor circulation.
