What could be causing pins and needles in my left leg about once a day since I had tonsilitis and glandular fever two weeks ago?

I am not a doctor, but I know a bit about this. Do see a real doctor. If this is related to your recent illness, it might simply be that the illness has left a fluid imbalance in your body. Edema (water) in your legs may at times slightly compress nerves in your legs (causing the pins and needles). Of course, fluid imbalance can be caused by many other things. Some blood pressure medicines, when stopped suddenly, can result in edema. Too much salt in your diet could be a culprit. Since this is only happening once a day, consider yourself lucky. Some people live with such things continually. If this does not clear up on its own in a couple of weeks, a check-up by a doctor is advisable. Also, if there is any impairment of motion or significant muscular problems (more than just minor twitching) . . . see a doctor right away.
