Is it true that Pins and needles in a limb is caused by temporary pressure on nerves that disrupts signals, followed by abnormal nerve firing on release?
Unclear. Two reference sources partially support the claim: they describe transient paresthesia ('pins and needles') arising from pressure on a nerve or restricted blood flow, and resolving when the pressure is released. Neither source specifically confirms the 'abnormal nerve firing on release' portion of the mechanism.
