Mark:
I am so sorry you had this scare. I haven't had the pins and needles in my back but I have had them in my arms--and you are so right, they are "bigger than pins." That's why my PT and I have agreed to label them "zingers." The only time they lasted more than seconds at a time, was after a wonderful massage when my muscle guarding finally relaxed and then they were constant for about 20 minutes; once I got back into my now normal spasm state, the zingers let up (what a choice). Hopefully, as Dale suggests, you were caught off guard.
Hopefully, a new MRI will be reassuring.
