Poor Circulation! Probably.

Pins n needles is result of blood coming back through the affected part after being cut off for short time eg kneeling or sitting on ankles etc. However if you were just going about things as usual then it may be an underlying problem.

Although has been known to be a symptom of Diabetes. Maybe a weee check with doc to put your mind at rest.

Sounds like a trapped nerve to me. I would mention it to Dr if you can anyway.

Could be Sciatica. I had this, caused by digging up an old patio and wearing out my back, it caused aching, pin and needles and numbness in my leg. Rest if you can and get it checked out.

I get that sometimes as well, especially if i've hurt my back, leg goes numb and sometimes I can't walk on it for a few steps. Rubbing my hip towards the back seems to 'reset' the nerve.

I get this sometimes but I think it could be a number of things and it took my doctor a while to find out what it was

So I would get it checked out

Hope you are ok
