Is the intermittent tingling in my legs and arms related to smoking cessation?

Hello Anonymous,

Welcome to EmpowHER and thank you for reaching out to our community for input.

Have you spoken with your primary care physician about this?

I doubt the intermittent needle like pains in your limbs is connected to your circulatory system.

Nerve pain presents as a tingling, burning or pins and needle sensation. Nerve pain is caused by damage to the nerve.

Nerve pain in idiopathic peripheral neuropathy is usually in the feet and legs but can also be in the hands and arms. People describe their unexplained nerve pain in different ways, such as burning, tingling, pins and needles, crawling and electric shocks.

Anonymous, in your case, the degenerative changes in your spine due to a fall may have caused nerve compression and damage. But, only your physician with the add of your medical history and ability to do a physical exam, knows for sure.
