Numbness or tingling is described as the "pins and needles" sensation in which there is reduced or absent feeling in the skin. In most cases, the reason for numbness and tingling is a problem with the nerve's function, either a result of the nerve itself being injured, something is putting pressure on the nerve, or an imbalance in the body's chemistry that interferes with nerve function.
These symptoms could be due to a different yet serious problem like a broken bone of the spine. Or, possibly an injured nerve or muscle; for example a herniated (or "slipped") disc could be pressing on a nerve.
Symptoms like those listed above, following a significant injury should be checked out thoroughly by a medical professional as soon as they start to interfere with your normal way of life.
