What is this?

I have this prickly bruise feeling on random parts of my body. The most common place that I get the feeling is on the bottom of my feet. It is painful. There is nothing there to be seen though. It really does feel like I have a bruise that has little needles being stuck into it. Does anyone have any ideas as to what this could be?
Answer:
Sound like you have a Pinched nerve

The term pinched nerve describes one type of damage or injury to a nerve or set of nerves. The injury may result from compression, constriction, or stretching. Symptoms include numbness, "pins and needles" or burning sensations, and pain radiating outward from the injured area. One of the most common examples of a single compressed nerve is the feeling of having a foot or hand "fall asleep." Pinched nerves can sometimes lead to other conditions such as peripheral neuropathy, carpal tunnel syndrome, and tennis elbow. The extent of such injuries may vary from minor, temporary damage to a more permanent condition. Early diagnosis is important to prevent further damage or complications. Pinched nerve is a common cause of on-the-job injury.
Im not that smart. But it might (probably not) be arethritus(spelling?). Either that or it's sore.

But I'm no medical expert. Don't take my advice seriously.
It sounds as if a physical examination is in order as this sounds rather odd. See your doc.
