Stabbing Pain
Paresthesia is usually a painless condition. However, people with chronic paresthesia may experience stabbing pain in their arms, legs, feet or hands. Stabbing pain is generally described as a sharp pain occurring suddenly and intensely.
Sharp, acute pains can be uncomfortable, especially over long periods of time. The discomfort can radiate beyond the affected limb and may affect walking. If this symptom persists, it's important to seek advice from a health care professional.
