You may not be getting excellent blood flow to your right leg, or you may be pinching or placing pressure on a key nerve to the area. You may want to make an appointment with your physician sometime soon to get it checked out.
However, a pins and needles sensation can also be caused by something serious, such as DVT: Deep Vein Thrombosis or a blood clot. If this condition is occurring while you are on bedrest, just coming off of bedrest, were hospitalized, or are generally immobile for long periods of time (traveling for business on aircraft, etc...) you may be at risk. Please call your doctor at his/her office number to schedule an appointment or to ask for his/her advice if you have the above risk factors.
